Aspire Oxfordshire in the running for Tesco's "Stronger Starts" local grant scheme Thanks to Tesco’s “Stronger Starts” programme, Aspire could earn up to £3,000 towards its vital services supporting local people into fulfilling employment and secure housing. “Stronger Starts” sees Tesco customers vote in-store between three different good causes. After three-months of voting, the good cause with the most votes receives £1,500! Aspire has been selected for two in-store votes in Oxford and Witney. If we come first in both votes, we could benefit from £3,000! Voting in Oxford will help Aspire to fund a new shared larder, providing much-needed relief to the community and offering an in-house work experience programme - helping people to learn new skills, build their employability and increase their confidence. Voting in Witney will benefit Aspire’s Youth Hub, which supports up to 50 marginalised young people each year. The funds raised will help to provide English and Maths tuition for young clients. By gaining English and Maths qualifications, these young clients can overcome barriers to work, access tenancies, training and more. To vote, customers must visit in-store voting stands and use the blue tokens provided by 31st March 2025. See the below list of stores, or use the store locator tool to find out where you can vote. Happy voting!
