North community projects are being offered a chance to bag their share of a £100,000 funding pot launched by Tesco to mark its centenary.
Highland communities are invited to share in the funding during two special Bags of Help voting rounds in the summer.
Bags of Help, run in partnership with Groundwork, sees funding awarded to thousands of local community projects every year.
In the Highlands Bags of Help has awarded around £800,000 to more than 250 local projects.
Throughout July and August the first of two special funding rounds will concentrate on groups delivering health and wellbeing benefits, with a particular focus on groups tackling cancer, heart disease and diabetes, in line with Tesco’s National Health Partnership.
Applications are open to all appropriate community projects in the area, with Tesco staff involved in shortlisting three applications in each area.
Customers are then invited to vote for which group they’d like to receive grants of £25,000, £15,000 and £10,000, casting their votes using blue tokens handed out at checkout points.
Another voting round will launch in November
The funding will extend to 30 regions during each round, with a total of £3,300,000 available.
Anyone can nominate a project for Bags of Help and Bags of Help Centenary Grants, and organisations and groups looking to find out more or apply should visit www.tesco.com/bagsofhelp.
