Tesco Local Community Scheme
The money raised from the 5p bag charge in Tesco stores in England, Wales and Scotland will be used to pay for a large number of local projects to improve green spaces in communities. Projects that will get the green light as a result of the funding will include building new pocket parks, sports facilities, woodland walks and community gardens.
Administration of the local funding will be managed by the community charity with a green heart, Groundwork, which specialises in transforming communities and the local environment for the better.
For further information see http://www.groundwork.org.uk/Sites/tescocommunityscheme
Applications for round one of the scheme must be in by noon on 27th November.
Further funding rounds will take place in Spring and Autumn next year, and in 2017 and 2018.
