Tesco Stronger Starts

We’re thrilled to be part of the Stronger Starts customer vote for Tesco in 2026!

This scheme gives community projects grants of up to £1,500.

Tesco customers can now vote in store in the Gerrards Cross, Ashford, Sunbury, Abingdon, Buckingham, Faringdon, Kidlington and Egham Tesco Stores.

There are a number of stores in each of these areas where you can vote.

During January to March this year every blue token is a vote to decide how much funding we get, so please support us next time you shop at Tesco!

Through the project we will provide specialist dyslexia training to teachers and teaching assistants in locals schools around these areas.

The training will support all the pupils in the school community and many more children over the course of each teacher’s career.

The stores where you can drop a blue token for Helen Arkell are:
