Blue Token Votes: Colchester and Clacton

Nov 1, 2024General, Newsletter

We’re bidding for a cash boost from the Tesco Stronger Starts scheme.

Stronger Starts provides grant awards of up to £1,500 to local community projects, with a particular focus on children and young people.

Three groups in every community have been shortlisted to receive grant awards and Tesco customers can vote for the group they think should take away the top award in their local Tesco store.

Action for Family Carers is one of the groups on the shortlist in Colchester and Clacton

The grant, if we win, will go to our Young Carer Clubs in Colchester and Clacton. Our clubs offer a safe space to do fun activities, make friends, and get emotional support. The young people we work with get a break from caring, participate in games and crafts, and connect with others who understand their journey.

Voting is open now until mid January 2025 . You can cast your vote using a blue token given at the check-out each time you shop and a full list of stores for each area is below.
