Benefit from carrier bags
The new rules coming in about carrier bags from supermarkets costing 5p mean that the more public spirited companies will be looking for good causes to donate their windfalls to.
Tesco customers will get the chance to vote for projects in their own local areas. The company expects to support around 2,500 different projects after just one year with grants ranging from £8,000 to £12,000.
It will fund things like building new pocket parks, sports facilities, woodland walks and community gardens.
Customers can nominate local good causes; nominations will be whittled down to three good causes that customers can choose from to vote for in each area. Administration of the local funding will be handled by environmental improvement charity Groundwork. More information here:
