Tesco customers. through the scheme, called ‘Bags of Help’, grants of £8,000, £10,000 and £12,000 will be awarded to charities and groups across the UK for spending on environmental improvement projects. Tesco customers will receive a token at the till to vote for the local project they think most deserves the bumper £12,000 grant, and have until 6 March to make their vote count. Over 1000 community projects will benefit from Tesco’s scheme.
A total of £11.5m raised from the sale of Tesco bags in the UK since October 2015 will be donated through Bags of Help, which is expected to be one of the biggest environmental improvement drives the UK has ever seen.
Over a thousand initiatives directly chosen by local people will get the green light thanks to the scheme including brand new pocket parks, sports facilities, woodland walks and community gardens. Bags of Help will be administered by UK environmental improvement charity Groundwork.
Matt Davies, Tesco UK and ROI chief executive said: “We want to serve Britain’s shoppers a little better every day, and everything we do at Tesco is informed by what our customers tell us.
“That’s why we wanted to give our customers the chance to choose the environmental projects they most want to benefit from the money raised through the bag charge.
“Our customers will help us make sure the money raised through the charge goes to make the biggest difference to local communities up and down the country.”
The projects that will be voted on by Tesco customers were nominated by local people and community groups, and whittled down to three for each area by special teams made up of Tesco colleagues from local stores.
Customers can make their choice in store and join the conversation on twitter using #BagsOfHelp.
Fulfil The Wish is a registered charity, which was founded in 2000 by Mary Appleton, a registered nurse, to provide activity and sightseeing holidays for children and young people with disabilities and complex health needs.
Fulfil The Wish volunteers have the ability and the experience to help people with even severe disabilities – and their families – to enjoy a holiday which will live long in their memories.
Our holidays are about inclusion.
We have professional assistance and practical support on each holiday.
The holiday is planned around the needs of the disabled children.
Our assistance is also available to parents with disabilities who may have experienced difficulties when trying to holiday as a family, or who may need more support than would normally be available.
All our holidays and activities are family-based. They offer opportunities for children and their families to enjoy a wide range of experiences which others may take for granted.
Our holidays, days out and activities also offer an opportunity to make new friends and experience the company of people from across the UK. Over the years, many of the children and families who have been on our holidays have kept in contact and remain good friends to this day.
To donate to us:
Text ‘NEEN18‘ plus either £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070 to donate that amount to Fulfil the Wish via Just Giving. For example, text:
‘NEEN18 £10′ to 70070.
to donate £10. Fulfil the Wish will receive every penny of your donation.
Has been set up in memory of Hannah Westbrook a very well loved and brave girl.
At the Age of 8 Hannah was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease and was treated at Southampton General Hospital.
Throughout her illness she underwent very intense chemotherapy, a stem cell treatment and radiotherapy.
During her illness she never complained and remained a very happy, caring and loving daughter, sister and friend and was well loved by all who knew her.
Despite all of this, she continued with family and friends to fund raise for the Piam Brown Ward, which is the children’s cancer ward based at Southampton General Hospital, raising over £10,000 in just 3 years.
Sadly, at the age of 10 on 19th September 2004, Hannah passed away peacefully at her family home in Waterlooville.
It is because Hannah was such a caring and loving child that her family and friends have set up this appeal.
Hannah loved family life and spending time with family and loved ones was very important to her.
We thought there wasn’t a better way to remember her by offering just that.
Through overwhelming generosity we have been able to purchase the holiday home allowing us to offer as many families as possible a well earned break.
It is also to be offered to families who have lost someone very special to them so they can have some valuable family time together away from it all.
The park itself is wonderful. It offers an indoor and outdoor pool, outdoor play area, shop, club house, arcade and games area with fantastic family entertainment and a cafe catering for all your needs. The staff are all very friendly and helpful too.
All of this is set in picturesque woodlands on the outskirts of the New Forest.
Plus with thanks to everyone who has helped and donated, in 2012 we were able to open another holiday home on Hayling Island.
