St Michael’s Primary School calls out for votes to get a share of Tesco’s Stronger Starts fund
St Michael’s Primary School is bidding for a cash boost from the Tesco Stronger Starts scheme. Stronger Starts provides grant awards of up to £1,500 to local community projects, with a particular focus on children and young people. Three groups in every community have been shortlisted to receive grant awards and Tesco customers can vote for the group they think should take away the top award in their local Tesco store.
St Michael’s Primary School is one of the groups on the shortlist in Newry area.
Voting is open in all Tesco stores from October to Mid-January 2025. Customers will cast their vote using a blue token given to them at the check-out each time they shop. (If you are not offered them, please ask for them)
Tesco’s Stronger Starts – previously known as Tesco Community Grants - has already provided over £110 million to more than 60,000 projects across Britain. This £5m Stronger Starts grant programme, delivered in partnership with Groundwork UK, helps schools and children’s groups provide nutritious food and healthy activities that support young people’s physical health and mental wellbeing, such as breakfast clubs or snacks, and sports equipment for after school clubs.
