Claire de Silva, Tesco UK Head of Communities and Local
Media, said: “Helping schools and children’s groups access the
food and resources they need is vitally important in getting

Graham Duxbury, Groundwork’s UK Chief Executive, said:
“As a community charity, we have seen first-hand how schools and
other groups supporting young people have been playing a much
bigger role in ensuring children are getting a healthy start to the
day and getting access to spaces and services to support physical
activity and mental health. Family budgets are tight and school
budgets are tight, but it’s so important that children stay fed, fit
and focused, so we’re delighted to be able to prioritise these
activities alongside Tesco with the Stronger Starts programme.”
Funding is available to community groups and charities looking to fund local projects that bring benefits to communities, particularly those helping to provide food and giving children the support they need for a good start in life.
