Scotmid - Community Connect
Details
Community Connect enables Scotmid members to give back to their Communities. It allows three good cause groups from three Member Regions (North, East and West) to receive a financial award following a vote by Scotmid members. They’re looking for applications that:
- benefit the local community centred around Scotmid or Semichem stores
- have the greatest possible benefit to their community
- are scheduled to be completed within 24 months of the award date.
Scotmid members collect one Community Connect vote every time they shop in store. They then use their votes to determine the size of the award that each Good Cause Group receives.
