TESCO SHOPPERS IN CARDIFF SET FOR SHARE OF £500K GOLD RUSH THIS SATURDAY
Tesco shoppers in Cardiff have a golden hour to win a share of HALF A MILLION POUNDS for their local school or a community group that supports children this Saturday, March 16.
As part of the supermarket’s ‘Stronger Starts’ campaign, between 12 noon and 1.00pm, shoppers in 100 Tesco stores can take a lucky dip to find a gold version of Tesco’s famous blue voting token.
Since Tesco launched its Community Grants programme in 2016, more than £100million has been given to more than 50,000 local schools and community groups
Customers who find a gold token will be able to choose which local school or community project will receive a £5,000 Golden Grant to spend on equipment or healthy food to help give children a stronger start in life.
Claire De Silva, Head of Communities for Tesco, said: “Right now, £5,000 can make a massive difference to a school or community project and help them give children a stronger start in life. Our Stronger Starts campaign has already funded so many groups and schools right across the UK and we can’t wait to see what these Golden Tokens can do in more communities across the country.
“We’re giving customers who visit these 100 stores the chance to make a difference to a school or group that’s doing amazing work on their doorstep.”
Golden Grants are awarded twice a year and are part of Tesco Stronger Starts, a £5m grant programme in partnership with Groundwork UK. The grants are there to help schools and children’s groups provide nutritious food and healthy activities that support young people’s physical health and mental wellbeing, such as breakfast clubs or snacks, and equipment for healthy activities.
Cardiff residents have the chance to give a local charity a share in £500,000 with a little help from Tesco
In Cardiff, the local recipients vying for a chance of being awarded the Golden Token and £5,000 are Cylch Meithrin Maes Y Morfa, the Welsh Dance Theatre Trust, and St Alban's Primary School.
Tesco has supported Cardiff residents and groups since 2016 with £108,055 in funding.
Since Tesco launched its Community Grants programme in 2016, more than £100million has been given to more than 50,000 local schools and community groups.
