BOLTON community groups and charities can now apply for funding through the Tesco Bags of Help scheme.
More than £6 million will be shared across England throughout 2020 and anyone can nominate groups and charities benefitting communities.
The scheme sees money raised from the sale of reusable Bags for Life in Tesco stores across the country used to fund local projects with customers deciding where the money goes and casting their votes for shortlisted charities using blue tokens handed out in stores.
Keith Jackson, Bags of Help Manager at Tesco, said: “From projects to improve community spaces to groups looking for support with community events, purchasing new equipment and funding coaches, we encourage you to nominate and apply, and get involved in this fantastic scheme which has provided more than £80 million of funding to more than 27,000 local community projects to date.”
