Community projects in Exmouth have been invited to apply for a cash injection thanks to Tesco’s Bags of Help initiative.

The supermarket chain has teamed up with Groundwork to launch the monthly roll-out of its funding scheme, which sees grants of up to £4,000 – all raised from the 5p bag levy – being awarded to local community projects.

Three groups in each area will be awarded grants every other month. Tesco customers will have the chance to vote.

Community groups and charities can apply for funding and customers can nominate projects they’d like to see supported.
