Every four months, three local projects are selected to be in the customer vote in Tesco stores throughout the UK. Customers are empowered to make a difference in their local community by using their blue token to vote and choose how the funding is distributed. Every project shortlisted for the vote receives funding but a vote using a blue token will make the difference to just how much funding each project receives – up to £500, £1,000 or £1,500.

From providing nutritious food in fun ways like smoothie classes through to learning how fruit and veg grows, they welcome applications that use healthy food to support nutritious diets of children and young people across the UK.

This could include providing fruit or healthy snacks in school, introducing or supporting breakfast or holiday clubs, cooking or gardening initiatives to grow your very own fruit and veg or providing much-needed half time power for a sports club. All applications that are received are assessed, and Tesco colleagues help to select the projects that will be voted for in regions across the UK. Their community charity partner, Groundwork, manages the application process and helps administer the funding across the UK.
