Groundwork North Wales works as an enabler for the Tesco Community Grants programme across North Wales and is looking for applications from North Wales based not-for-profit organisations, community group or registered charities.
If you are a Tesco customer or colleague, you can also nominate a cause that you’d like to see supported and we’ll contact them to encourage them to apply.
Geraint Hughes is the Tesco Grant Enabler Officer at Groundwork North Wales and would love to hear from you.
"We would love to hear from any local registered charities and not-for-profit organisations who would be interested in applying for a Tesco Community Grant. We are here to help throughout the process so please get in touch as the grants are a great opportunity for funding".
Tesco Community Grants have funded thousands of local projects across the country. Since 2016 the scheme has supported over 40,000 community groups with more than £90 million in grants. The scheme aims to make a positive difference – because where our communities thrive, our business and our colleagues thrive too.
Tesco Community Grants will select 3 projects / good causes from the applications that need a little extra help in your local area and when a customer is given a blue token, in any Tesco store at checkout, they can vote for their favourite of the selected three project / good causes to receive a grant by putting the blue token in the Tesco Community Grants box.
You can contact Groundwork North Wales for more information and an informal discussion on 01978 757 524 or email info@groundworknorthwales.org.uk and enabler@groundworknorthwales.org.uk
