About
Tesco Stronger Starts is a £5 million grant programme launched by Tesco in partnership with the community charity Groundwork UK. The programme's ambition is to help children and young people access healthy and nutritious food as part of their daily routine, ensuring they build a solid foundation for life and making communities stronger. The initiative invites schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations to apply for grants of up to £1,500 for causes that improve access to healthy, nutritious food, including breakfast clubs, holiday clubs, cooking or gardening initiatives, and projects that build life skills, confidence and wellbeing. Tesco colleagues and customers participate in selecting projects through voting, ensuring local communities have a say in how funding is distributed across the UK.
