Help us win a community grant for our school

Our project has been shortlisted for a public vote in Tesco's Bags of Help Initiative!  Vote for us to win the top prize in store!  Vote between 31st October September and 13th November.

Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork on its Bags of Help Initiative in hundreds of regions across England and Wales.  The scheme will see three community groups and projects in each of these regions awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 - all raised from the 5p bag charge.

Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco's 416 regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the 5p charge levied on single-use carrier bags.  The public will now vote in store from 31 October to 13 November on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.  In total, there is over £12.5 million up for grabs.

Our project is for the playground.  We had a group of year 5 pupils (now year 6) researching, contacting and meeting different companies for ideas of seating and shaded areas.  The children really want to spend the money on new seating and canopies.

The stores selected for public voting are:-
