Back in June, we applied for the Tesco Bags of Help grant to receive funding for improving our playground.
We have been successful in reaching the final stage of the scheme, and are guaranteed a grant of £8000.
However, with your support, we could receive £10000 or even … £12000 to spend making our playground fantastic!

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 will keep you posted on our campaign and how you can help us win the top grant through our blog and twitter feed.
Let’s all work together for Morningside Primary, tell your neighbours and friends and rally up as much support as you can!
