Tesco Charity Community Awards (UK)

The Tesco Charity Community Awards for grants for children’s welfare and/or children’s educations (including special needs schools) has re-opened with an application deadline of the 30th June 2013. Through the Awards, one-off donations of between £500 and £4,000 are available to local projects that support children and their education and welfare. Previous projects supported have included sensory garden or room projects; outdoor classrooms; breakfast and after school clubs; holiday play-schemes; and part funding to purchase minibuses.

The Tesco Charity Trust has been in existence since 1987 and aims to provide approximately £600,000 in grants each year. In addition the Trust also provides grants to groups working with and supporting elderly people and/or adults and children with disabilities.

The Tesco Charity Trust Trustees also consider grant applications at their tri-annual meetings. These grants range between £4,000 and £25,000 and are to support local, national or international projects in areas where Tesco operate.
