Since our last post in September, we’re pleased to share that 31 grants have now been paid out, with funds still available to support another four households affected by the flooding.
Yesterday marked another special moment for our team. Now that we have official charity status, we’ve been able to access the generous funds raised by Tesco Tenbury Wells for local flood victims — a total of £440.27.
We met with store manager Jamie to receive the cheque and to learn more about how this wonderful fundraising came about.
Jamie shared that many of the Tesco colleagues were personally affected by the floods and wanted to do something meaningful to help others in the community. On the day of the floods, Tesco immediately donated essential cleaning products for those in need, and it was clear how many people had been impacted.
In the days that followed, the team decided to organise a charity bike ride, along with collection buckets at the tills — and customers responded with incredible generosity. Jamie told us, “It was our colleagues who really drove the fundraising — we just wanted to help out, as so many of us and our customers were affected. We’re part of this community too.”
A huge thank you to everyone at Tesco Tenbury Wells — colleagues and customers alike — for their kindness, teamwork, and community spirit. 💙
Together, we continue to make a difference.
