Tesco Community Grants fund thousands of local community projects across the UK, helping to fight holiday hunger, tackle mental health, support young people, host community events and much more. Community groups, schools, charities, local authorities and not for profits can all apply for grants for projects that bring benefit for the community.

Applications are open to all local good causes, but they are currently prioritising helping projects that support children’s food security and health and local store nominated good causes.

The fund is focussed on supporting schools and organisations to apply for extra financial help they might need to provide healthy food and activities that boost young people’s mental and physical wellbeing. Examples of eligible applications with a focus on food security, children and young people could be:

• A school providing pupils with food for breakfast clubs or snacks throughout the day
• A school wanting to buy equipment for outdoor or indoor activities
• A school wanting to develop a food growing area
• A school supporting an after school club
• A voluntary organisation working with families to run a food bank
• An organisation addressing holiday hunger
• A healthy eating project that supports families to cook healthy meals on a budget
• A Brownie or Scout group needing funding for new play equipment or activities

Every three months, three local good causes are selected to be in the blue token customer vote in Tesco stores throughout the UK.
