Red Balloon Reading has been selected to participate in the Tesco Stronger Starts blue token scheme. Customers in the listed stores can select a blue token at checkout to vote for Red Balloon Reading or one of the other community projects or schools available.
Tesco Stronger Starts is a £5m grant programme, in partnership with Groundwork UK, to give children across the UK a stronger start in life. The grants will help schools and children’s groups provide nutritious food and healthy activities that support young people’s physical health and mental wellbeing, such as breakfast clubs or snacks, and equipment for healthy activities.
The students hope to buy an outdoor table-tennis table for the garden with any funds received.
