SCHOOLS and community organisations in Ledbury could all benefit from grant funding from Tesco, with the aim of improving the area's parks and open spaces.
Mel Yates, manager of the Tesco store in Ledbury, is alerting the community that the Tesco Bags of Help grant programme is now opens for applications.
The programme "aims to make improvements to open spaces through grants of £8000, £10000 and £12000, raised through the plastic bag 5p levy charge".
Mr Yates said: "This could be a really exciting opportunity to improve a green space that will really benefit the community."
Applications are only accepted from constituted groups or organisations, with a governing document, constitution or Memorandum of Articles.
A total of ninety percent of the funding must be used for direct project costs "which are for the physical improvement of the site".
