Get involved Fund your project Tesco Fruit and Veg Grants Tesco Fruit & Veg grants invites schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations supporting children to apply for up to £1,500 to improve access to fruit, veg and healthy food or snacks. This could include providing fruit or healthy snacks in school, introducing or supporting breakfast or holiday clubs, cooking or gardening initiatives to grow your own fruit and veg or providing much-needed half time power for a sports club. Every four months, three local projects are selected to be in the customer vote in Tesco stores throughout Scotland. Every project shortlisted for the vote receives funding but a customer vote using a blue token will make the difference to just how much funding each project receives – £500, £1,000 or up to £1,500. All applications that are received are assessed, and Tesco colleagues help to select the projects that will be voted for in regions across the UK. greenspace scotland works with Tesco and Groundwork to support successful projects in Scotland.

Here are some previously funded projects that included a healthy food element: St Mirren FC Charitable Foundation £1,500 for their Fit and Fed project, providing positive activities and healthy food for disadvantaged children and young people during school holidays. Stow Primary School £1,500 for their Sustainable Garden project, helping local families learn to grow healthy food and make sustainable food choices, while also tackling climate change. Bridge of Weir Scout Group £500 for their Munching Crunching Fit project. Scouts took part in the challenge of planning, shopping and cooking meals from scratch, and the younger children got an intro to cooking by making vegetables fun, and creating fruit kebabs. St Patrick’s Primary School £1000 for their Nourish project. Families learned how to cook nutritious meals with the help of a community chef, as well as playing games with a sports coach while their meals finished cooking.
