Help communities bag a share of Tesco carrier bag charge cash

TESCO customers are being invited to help community groups and good causes in Rotherham bag a share of a £12.5 million carrier bag charge fund.

The supermarket has teamed up with Groundwork on its Bags of Help initiative, which sees grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 - all raised from the 5p bag levy - being awarded to environmental and greenspace projects across the country.

Shoppers are now being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for who they believe should take away the top grant.

The groups to benefit from the Tesco grant in Rotherham are Kimberworth Park Community Partnership, Paces Sheffield and Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust.

Voting is open in store until November 13.

Customers will be able to cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out in store each time they shop.
