We’re delighted to share some fantastic news!

Our project – The Countryside Kitchen: Hands-On Food Education, has been selected for the Tesco Stronger Starts scheme and will be going forward to a customer vote in local stores from the first week of July until the end of September 2025.

This means you, our amazing community, can help us secure vital funding to continue delivering hands-on farm-based workshops for Daventry primary school children, teaching them about:

• Growing their own food
• Cooking healthy meals
• Understanding sustainability and where food comes from

It’s immersive, practical and fun — and designed to spark curiosity, build skills, and improve food literacy for the next generation.

💷 What’s at stake?

The project that receives the most customer votes will receive up to £1,500, second place will receive £1,000, and third place will receive £500. These funds will help us purchase much-needed supplies and expand our impact in local schools and communities.

🗳️ How to vote:

You can vote using a blue token each time you shop in one of the following Tesco stores:

• Daventry Ashby Fields Express – NN11 0XY
• Daventry Superstore – NN11 4BT
• Weedon High Street Express – NN7 4QD

Every vote brings us one step closer to helping more children connect with where their food comes from and how to make healthy choices. 🥦🍞🌾

We’re so grateful to Tesco and Groundwork UK for this opportunity – and to you for continuing to support our mission to make food education accessible, enjoyable, and empowering.
