Funding pots of £500, £1000 and £1500 will be available for the shortlisted projects, and Tesco customers will be able to choose which one receives the most funding by voting in store every time they shop.

Originally launched in 2016 as Bags of Help, the scheme has supported over 36,000 community groups with more than £86 million in grants since 2016, helping 2000 sports teams and 1400 groups supporting vulnerable older people.

In 2020 alone, more than 10,000 groups were awarded grants of over £7.9m by Tesco throughout the UK.

Keith Jackson, Tesco Community Grant Manager at Tesco, said: “Over the years, we’ve been delighted to have been able to support so many charities, community

groups and organisations from every corner of the UK. The help and support they provide to families and children is now more important than ever.

“We’re encouraging groups in Falkirk to apply for funding as we hope to see the fantastic community work they provide to continue long into the future.”
