Tesco Newtonhill are looking for local groups to apply for their “Bags of Help” Fund. Amazingly, they have been undersubscribed, so are actively looking to encourage groups in South Aberdeenshire to contact them. Groups out with Newtonhill are encouraged to apply also.
Constituted groups, charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for funding of between £1000 – £4000 for projects that brings benefits to the community.
Eligible projects include but are not limited to activity in outdoor spaces; purchase of items such as sports kits, camping equipment or specialised medical equipment; improvements to community buildings; seasonal events, volunteer expenses and training.
Following a public vote in Tesco stores every 2 months, three projects in each of the local stores areas will receive grants.
