TESCO – Bags of Help – £4000

Our Garden Project has been chosen by the Tesco ‘bags of help scheme’. Bagshot Infant School is bidding to bag a massive cash boost from the Tesco Bags of Help initiative and we need your help.

Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of £4,000, £2,000 and £1,000 – all raised from the 5p bag levy – being awarded to local community projects. Three groups in every Tesco region have been shortlisted to receive the cash award and shoppers are being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for who they think should take away the top grant.

We are pleased to announce that Bagshot Infant School is one of the groups on the shortlist. We would like to improve and develop our garden and wildlife area. We believe that a garden is a wonderful way for our children to explore their senses and learn about the environment around them. It is also a healthy place of discovery and will encourage the children to love the outdoors

Voting is open in stores throughout May and June. Customers can cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out in store each time they shop – please ask for one if it is not offered.

Votes can be cast at the following Tesco stores:

Sandhurst: The Meadows: GU47 0FD Frimley:

Balmoral Drive Express GU16 8UR

Blackwater: London Road Express GU17 0AE Blackwater:

Darby Green Express GU17 0LL

Sandhurst: Yorktown Road Express GU47 9DX Yateley:

Reading Road Express GU46 7UH

Please could you tell all your friends and family who might shop in these stores to vote for our project!
