TESCO is offering grants to support food projects that help children and young people access healthier meals.
The retailer is encouraging schools and community groups in Bradford to apply for grants of up to £1,500 through its Stronger Starts programme, which funds schemes focused on improving access to nutritious food for young people.
Claire De Silva, head of community at Tesco, said: “Every child deserves the chance to enjoy healthy food and build the foundations for a healthier future.
“We want to support the brilliant schools and community groups in Bradford helping children and young people access nutritious food.
“Whether that’s a breakfast club, a pantry, cookery sessions or a project that helps children grow and try new foods, we’d encourage local organisations to apply.”
