Tesco is encouraging charities and community groups in Largs to apply for funding for local projects that matter to them.

The store's community grants scheme will award grants to charities and community organisations whose focus is on helping children and families access the food and support they need for a good start in life.

Eligible projects will include breakfast or holiday lunch clubs, food banks, youth clubs or schools.

From July, three community groups in Largs will be selected to receive votes from the public to decide which project receives the most funding.

Funding pots of £500, £1000 and £1500 will be available for the shortlisted projects, and Tesco customers will be able to choose which one receives the most funding by voting in store every time they shop.

Keith Jackson, Tesco Community Grant Manager at Tesco, said: “We’re encouraging groups in Largs to apply for funding as we hope to see the fantastic community work they provide to continue long into the future.”
