Tesco is inviting shoppers at its Guildford’s store off Ashenden Road to vote for local organisations and schemes that help to give children their strongest start in life.

Remember to make your vote count!

As part of the Stronger Starts project, customers can visit their nearest store and drop the blue token they receive at checkout into the voting box for one of three local schools or young people’s projects.

The aim is to support schools and children’s groups with grants of up to £1,500 to provide nutritious food and healthy activities that aid physical health and mental wellbeing, such as breakfast clubs or snacks, and equipment for healthy activities

Two out of the three blue token voting boxes by the Guildford checkouts will be dedicated to local schools, and the third will be for local community projects nominated by each store’s colleagues. Customers can choose which of the three projects they’d like to support by
voting with a blue token.

The scheme, supported by UK community charity Groundwork, replaces the former Tesco Community Grants funding programme.
