Opportunities to Volunteer and Make a Difference at Tesco Southwark Superstore
Tesco Southwark Superstore, located on Old Kent Road, is spearheading a movement to engage customers in their local community through a unique volunteering fair. The event, set in the Southwark Superstore car park on Friday, September 20, from midday to 4pm, aims to connect individuals with various local groups representing a wide range of good causes. Among the organizations participating in the fair are Blackfriars Settlement, Home Start, and Community TechAid, each offering opportunities for individuals to make a tangible impact in their community.
Madison Bryan, the Community Champion at Southwark Superstore, expressed her enthusiasm for the event, stating, “I am absolutely thrilled that we are able to host this volunteering fair. I have had the opportunity to volunteer personally and I know how rewarding this can be on a personal basis. All members of the local community are welcome to pop along and find out how they can get more involved in their local community.”
Supporting Local Schools and Community Groups
Beyond the volunteering fair, Tesco’s Stronger Starts program provides support for local schools and community groups. The initiative allows customers to participate in Tesco’s blue token voting scheme, where three local projects are nominated every three months for funding. In the current round, the three projects local to Southwark are Bird in Bush Primary School, Dallaglio Rugby Works, and Tower Bridge Primary School. Customers have until the end of September to cast their votes, with the first-place project receiving £1,500, the second-place project receiving £1,000, and the third-place project receiving £500.
By engaging customers in the decision-making process and empowering them to contribute to community initiatives, Tesco Southwark Superstore is fostering a sense of shared responsibility and collective action. Through the Stronger Starts program, individuals can directly impact the projects and organizations that matter most to their community, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.
