MK Playday have been successfully shortlisted in applying for the Tesco Bags of Help Grant Scheme.
The MK Playday project will be put forward to a customer vote in Tesco stores during May and June 2019.
Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of £4,000, £2,000 and £1,000 awarded to local community projects. Three groups in every Tesco region have been shortlisted to receive the cash award and shoppers are being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for who they think should take away the top grant.
MK Playday is one of the shortlisted groups looking to secure a funding boost from the Tesco Bags of Help initiative. MK Playday provides free, fun, accessible activities for all children, young people and their families from across Milton Keynes in Campbell Park on Wednesday, August 7, 2019.
Voting is open in all Tesco stores on Wednesday, May 1 to Sunday, June 30, 2019. Customers will cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out store each time they shop.
Julie Dawes, interim Chair of MK Playday organising committee said: “This grant would aid MK Playday to offer a wider range of free and fun activities and games for the local children of Milton Keynes as part of the national day for play. MK Playday is the largest free play event held in Milton Keynes and we can’t wait to make this event bigger and better to highlight the importance of play in children’s lives”.
