We are delighted to have had our first successful application to the Tesco Bags of Help Grant Scheme!

Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of £4,000, £2,000 and £1,000 raised from carrier bag sales in Tesco stores awarded to local community projects.

Greater Manchester Doulas CIC, along with two other groups have been shortlisted in the Hale & Altrincham Tesco region, 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.

Our project offers women with vulnerabilities continuous support throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. With the funding we will be able to offer this service for free, for up to five women who are have vulnerabilities related to domestic abuse, previous trauma, mental health, age, disability, residency status and/or being alone. By working with these women we are addressing the need for bespoke support to complex clients and offering support that may not otherwise be available to them.

As always, your support with this is hugely valued and we would love for you to pop down to the stores and vote for us! Voting will take place from Sunday 1st July to Friday 31st August 2018 at Tesco Extra Altrincham and Tesco Express Hale.

Wish us luck!
