Tynemouth MP Alan Campbell is encouraging local charities and community groups put themselves forward for Tesco’s local charitable grants scheme – Tesco Community Grants – which has reopened for applications.

Every three months community groups and charities across the UK will be able to apply for a grant of up to £1,500 from the total pot of £2m for each period.

Any charity or community group can apply and Groundwork, an expert community charity who manage the scheme, will be able to advise on eligibility through the application process.

You can find out how to apply by visiting www.tesco.com/communitygrants and following the links to the application page.
