SHOPPERS at a supermarket in Wokingham could secure a £10,000 Golden Grant for a good cause this weekend.
Between noon and 1pm on Saturday, October 15, shoppers at the Finchampstead Road Tesco will have the chance to take part in a lucky dip to find a golden token worth £10,000.
The finder will then be able to choose which of the three causes in the Wokingham store’s current vote will receive a £10,000 grant, as well as receiving a Tesco voucher as a thank you for taking part.
This is part of a national scheme which will see 100 Tesco’s nationwide donating £1 million this weekend.
Jason Tarry, Tesco and ROI CEO, said: “We have never donated to so many communities in just a single day. £10,000 can make a huge difference to local groups and help them weather the current rises in costs.
“We’re giving customers who visit the stores, taking part, a chance to help a good cause that’s doing amazing work on their doorstep.”
There is also one ‘digital’ golden token which customers can win by nominating a charity through the Tesco Golden Grants competition, which will be running on the @Tesco Twitter.
The £1 million donation marks £100 million in community grants being given to more than 50,000 good causes since they were launched in 2016.
Organisations that have benefited include breakfast clubs, food banks, playgrounds, green spaces, counselling and support services for young people and children’s sports teams.
