Crowborough team are bidding to bag a massive cash boost from the Tesco

CROWBOROUGH COMMUNITY FIRST RESPONDERS are bidding to bag a massive cash boost from the Tesco Bags of Help initiative.

Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of £4,000, £2,000 and £1,000 – raised from carrier bag sales in Tesco stores – being awarded to local community projects.

Three groups in every Tesco region have been shortlisted to receive the cash award and shoppers are being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for who they think should take away the top grant.

CROWBOROUGH COMMUNITY FIRST RESPONDERS are one of the groups on the shortlist.

As specially trained volunteers responding to 999 calls with South East Coast Ambulance, we rely on funds for the purchase of the lifesaving equipment carried by our team, and the ongoing training and development of the team.
