What is Bags for Life?

Bags of Help is funded from bag sales and Tesco periodically review the amount of money they provide through the scheme so that it matches the amount of money that is being raised. The change in grant size and voting period reflects reductions in plastic use by customers and their 4Rs programme to Remove, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle plastic materials. For instance, in the last year Tesco have stopped offering single use plastic carrier bags with online deliveries – removing the use of 250 million carrier bags every year. At the same time, customers in stores are buying fewer and reusing their Bags for Life more. The Bags of Help scheme remains hugely popular with customers and has provided over £80 million of funding to more than 27,000 local community projects since 2016 and Tesco remain committed to investing in local projects and community groups.

• Only submit Tesco Bags of Help tokens to cast your vote
• Maximise promotion of our project during the voting period by sharing this story with your friends and family
• Encourage the local community and your supporters to get involved with Bags of Help voting

Don’t:

• Tamper with the voting unit (otherwise our project may be void from the vote)

• Take more than one token from the self-serve checkouts
• Hoard then submit multiple tokens in the voting unit
