Tesco Stronger Starts invites schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations supporting children and young people to apply for up to £1,500 for causes that improve access to healthy, nutritious food.
Tesco stores are now accepting applications. If you have a project or activity in mind that could benefit young people —such as sports equipment, healthy snacks, mindfulness tools, or books—this funding could help bring it to life. The grant is aimed at supporting the wellbeing of children and young people.
Just as a quick note, Tesco are keen to support children, young people & families in particular at the moment, by providing healthy food, or anything to improve their overall wellbeing. So if your project does help support children & young people with food at all, if you make sure to add this is somewhere in your application.
Don’t worry if not, they still support lots of other school and community projects, this just helps with categorising the applications.
From enhancing school provision to supporting local community services, Tesco welcome applications that use healthy food that supports physical and mental health of children and young people across the UK.
This could include breakfast or holiday clubs, cooking or gardening initiatives, providing fruit or healthy snacks for a sports club or projects that build life skills, confidence and wellbeing.
Funding available:
- £500 minimum for shortlisted projects
- £1,000 for second place
- £1,500 for the top-voted project
