Bags of Help result

We are  pleased to announce that following the Bags of Help public vote in our local Tesco stores, Mirfield Promenade came third and has been chosen by Tesco customers to receive a grant of £8,000

A very big thank you to everyone who voted for us.

Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative across England and Wales.  The scheme has seen three community groups and projects in each region awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 - all raised from the five pence carrier bag charge.

Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco's 390 regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags.   The public voted in store to decide which local groups should receive the £12,000, £10,000 or £8,000 awards.
