Discover Red Rocks at Tesco
























Happy New Year!

Cheshire Wildlife Trust submitted a funding bid to Tesco Bags of Help for our Discover Red Rocks project and we have been selected to go forward to the Wirral in-store vote!

Three local community projects will be voted on in Tesco stores each month and the project that receives the most votes from all stores in their region will receive a grant of up to £5,000. The second placed project receives up to £2,000 and third placed up to £1,000. You can vote for Discover Red Rocks at Wirral Tesco stores between 2nd and 28th January 2017.

If we are successful in getting the full £5,000 the Discover Red Rocks project will:

•        Improve the condition of the nature reserve for people and wildlife through beach cleans and volunteer days on the reserve.
•        Invite local schools to visit the reserve for wildbeach sessions, where the children will learn about the coast and the wildlife found there through outdoor education, team building and bushcraft activities, and environmental games.
•        Involve the wider community in local marine conservation issues by leading guided nature walks around the reserve and holding public events.

The list of stores taking part in the voting on our project is:
