A supermarket giant is encouraging charities and community groups in Inverness to apply for funds for local projects.

Tesco has rebranded its Bags of Help initiative, now called Tesco Community Grants scheme, and is offering cash awards to organisations that focus on helping children and families access food and support they need for a good start in life.

Eligible projects will include breakfast or holiday lunch clubs, food banks, youth clubs or schools.

From July, three community groups in Inverness will be selected to receive votes from the public to decide which project receives the most funding.

Funding pots of £500, £1000 and £1500 will be available for the short-listed projects.

The scheme has supported more than 36,000 community groups with more than

£86 million in grants throughout the UK since it launched in 2016.
