To vote, you will need to make a purchase within store of any value. You will receive one token per transaction and it’s not necessary to purchase a carrier bag in order to receive a token.

In the highly unlikely event that voting is suspended in certain locations due to government guidelines, we will notify you and the following action will be taken. At the end voting period, if voting has taken place for at least four weeks, the votes will be counted and grants awarded as per the standings at that point. If voting has taken place for less than four weeks, we will award each of the groups in the vote £1,000 (or the amount that was requested up to this value).

Additional information Please note the below advice in terms of do’s and don’ts before and during the voting period:

Do:

• – Cast your vote as soon as you receive your token for a project in the current voting round
• – Only submit Community Grants tokens to cast your vote – Maximise promotion of your project during the voting period by making best use of press and social media guidance
• Encourage the local community and your supporters to get involved with Community Grants voting

Don’t:

• Tamper with the voting unit (otherwise your project may be void from the vote)
• Influence customers casting their vote at the voting unit
• Take more than one token from the self-serve checkouts
• Encourage supporters to hoard then submit multiple tokens in the voting unit
• Promote your project in store without permission from the Store Manager
• Collect Community Grants tokens from stores that are not within your region to vote for your project

Please note, if you do not adhere to this guidance, this may affect your grant award. Another tip is to add the address mail@grantapplication.com to your email account to ensure that you receive future requests and information.
