Stourport pupils hope Tesco votes will fund seating
Pupils at a Stourport school are hoping “every little helps” in their bid to win first place in the Tesco Stronger Starts vote.
Wilden All Saints CE Primary School is raising money to provide ‘buddy’ seating for children in a corner of the playground.
With three worthy bids for customers to choose from, the school is set to bag at least £500 but hopes enough will choose their project to win first place and £1,500.
Customers can vote with the blue tokens, given on all purchases, in Tesco stores throughout Wyre Forest until March 31.
Charlotte McDonald, head of school, said: “We are excited to have been selected by Tesco to go forward to the voting stage and hope customers will choose our project.
“It’s a sunny spot with artificial turf laid ready for some seating, where children can go if they need to find a friend to play with or chat to.”
The Tesco Stronger Starts grant programme, delivered in partnership with Groundwork UK, helps schools and community groups support physical health and mental wellbeing.
