Our Eco Committee recently applied for funding from Tesco’s Bag of Help initiative. We are delighted to inform you that we have been successful with this and have secured a minimum of £8000 for school grounds work. We now have the chance to increase that £8000 to £12 000 with a public vote in Tesco Barrhead, Newton Mearns or Clarkston from Saturday 27th February until Sunday 6th March. There are 3 awarded grants of £12 000, £10 000 and £8000. The project with the most votes receives the £12 000 award while 2nd place receives £10 000 and 3rd place £8000. Shoppers will be given a token with every transaction and encouraged to vote for the project they would like to see receive funding.We would please encourage as many of you as possible to pop into Tesco Barrhead, Newton Mearns or Clarkston between Saturday 27th February and Sunday 6th March and vote for Neilston Primary. We will be notified what level of grant we have been awarded by the end of March. As soon as we know what we have been awarded, we will let you know. Thank you for your help and support.
Further information about Tesco Bags of Help is given below and there is also information at the website
“Tesco has teamed up with greenspace scotland to launch its Bags of Help initiative in Scotland. The scheme will see three community groups and projects in each of these regions awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.
Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags. The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.”
