The Tesco Charity
Trust offers its Community Awards scheme four times a year to registered
charities and not-for-profit organisations working on local projects that
benefit communities close to Tesco stores in the UK.
The scheme has two
strands: one which supports elderly people, and adults and children with
disabilities, and a second which supports children and their education and
welfare. There are two funding rounds per strand per year. Last year, the Trust
distributed nearly £700,000 to local community charities through the scheme.
Groups can apply for
one-off awards of between £500 and £4,000 which will support practical things
such as equipment and resources. Projects previously supported include luncheon
clubs, specialist equipment for disabled people, day trips and social trips for
elderly or disabled people.
The first application
deadline for Elderly People, Adults and Children with Disabilities is 31 March
2013.
There is one more
funding round in 2013 for grants to support children's welfare and children's
education projects. Applications can be made between 1 May and 30 June 2013.
