Bags of Help
Bags of Help is Tesco’s local community grant scheme where the money raised from the five pence plastic bag levy in Tesco stores is being used to fund thousands of community projects across the UK.
The nature reserve at Swanmore Meadows, Ryde, is one of the nominated projects for the Isle of Wight! Swanmore Meadows is managed by Gift to Nature with ongoing support from Ryde Town Council. It’s a beautiful place, but because there are not many paths the reserve is quite hard to get around and we still have a lot of work to do.
How to vote
It’s easy – vote for Swanmore Meadows in your local Tesco from 31 October 2016 to 13 November. There’s not an online vote, so just pop along to Tesco and vote!
