New Tesco grant launched 🥦🍎

An exciting new grant programme, Tesco Fruit & Veg grants, is now open for applications. Schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations supporting children and young people can apply for up to £1,500 for projects that improve access to healthy food.

Projects can focus entirely on healthy eating (e.g. breakfast clubs, cooking projects, food growing projects or food banks) or just incorporate an element of healthy eating as part of other activities (e.g. healthy snacks as part of kids clubs, nutrition sessions as part of sports events, or incorporating some fruit trees or vegetable beds into a school garden refresh).

We have some great examples of previous healthy eating projects on our website:
You can apply for the new grant, or nominate a group to apply, here ttps://www.groundwork.org.uk/tesco-fruit-and-veg-grants/

If you would like support to apply please contact our friendly team of Community Enablers via [email protected].

🏀⛹🏽 It’s Game On for a Summer of Sport in Angus ⚽ 🏃‍♂️🏆

Angus is set to play its part in delivering a wide range of opportunities for young people to get involved in different sport and physical activity this summer.
The county is receiving its share of a £20m Scottish Government initiative to increase the availability and appeal of sport for young people in their local area.

Delivered in partnership with sportscotland https://orlo.uk/XpZCb and the Angus Sport and Physical Activity Framework https://orlo.uk/sLC93, the initiative will provide inclusive opportunities for children and young people aged 3–26 to get active, with a particular focus on reducing barriers to participation and tackling poverty-related inequality.

The programme will support activity throughout the summer of 2026 and help to build stronger, lasting pathways into school, club and community sport through to March 2027 and beyond.
This summer, It’s Game On, and the 2026 Summer of Sport is a unique opportunity for communities across Scotland to embrace the excitement of sport, inspired by the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, both of which will showcase Scotland on the world stage and inspire young people to take part, get active and begin their own journey in sport and activity.

ASPAF, which includes representatives from ANGUSalive, Angus Council, Angus Health & Social Care Partnership, Dundee & Angus College, Public Health Scotland, Voluntary Action Angus and sportscotland, are behind the development of local plans.

With £60,000 of funding already allocated to voluntary and third sector organisations, a wide range of sports and activities will be available, helping young people to get involved, develop healthy habits, build stronger social connections and gain a lifelong love of sport.

You can find out more information by visiting Angus Council’s Active Schools webpages or ANGUSalive’s Summer of Sport webpages.
