Tesco's latest round of community funding has helped three Welshpool organisations support children with healthy eating schemes.

Customers voted for the recipients in store.

Girlguiding Churchstoke & Montgomery received the largest grant of £1,500 to support a community outreach project offering first aid training and health and wellbeing activities for girls aged four to 18. The group held its first community event in October, welcoming 80 girls to the town hall for activities including first aid training and healthy eating sessions where girls tried 'eating the rainbow' with fruit and vegetable snacks. Cylch Meithrin Pontrobert was awarded £1,000 to introduce cooking sessions using home-grown and locally sourced ingredients, aiming to teach children about healthy eating and basic cooking skills.
