Northumbria Blood Bikes is 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 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.
Northumbria Blood Bikes is one of the groups on the shortlist.
On Friday evening a few of this year’s #BloodBikesGNR team held a fundraising night at the Derwent Manor Hotel. The event included a lovely three course meal, a quick game of bingo, tombola, raffle and live entertainment from the fantastic Random Numbers. It proved a great success with the team raising just over £1200.
