Tesco ‘Bags of Help’ Funding…WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork on its Bags of Help initiative across Scotland. The scheme will see three community groups and projects awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.  greenspace scotland are working with Groundwork to support Scottish communities. 

Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the 5p charge levied on single-use carrier bags.

The public will now vote in store from 26 September to 9 October on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards. In total, there is over £12.5 million up for grabs.

We need as many people as possible to vote for our exciting project titled ‘St Thomas’ Great Outdoors Project’

Eco Day Friday 30th January – WEAR GREEN

Eco DayOn Friday 30th January we will be celebrating Eco Day in St Thomas’.  The aim is to raise awareness of the various Eco topics and to do some work towards our next Eco-Schools Green Flag review.  As part of our Eco Day, the children are invited to wear green or a ‘green’ costume (potted plant, a flower or a mini beast!) and contribute £1 towards improving the school grounds.  There will also be a Fairtrade stall open with most items under £2.  Thank you for your support.
