LUCKY shoppers could be in with a chance of grabbing £5,000 for their local school this weekend.
Between 12 noon and 1pm on Saturday shoppers in 100 Tesco supermarkets around the country can take a lucky dip to search for a gold token.
The token will then allow the winner to choose one of three local schools or community groups to receive a £5,000 golden grant to spend on equipment or healthy food.
Recipients of a Tesco Golden Grant last year included Tornedale Infant School which was able to replace worn out play equipment, build a new sand pit and create a community room to support new families.
Farms For City Children, based in Newham, were able to take even more children, from areas of deprivation in London, to their three farms to experience the benefits of food, farming and outdoor learning.

Claire De Silva, Tesco's head of communities, said: “Schools and local projects are vital in supporting our children and our communities. We’re giving customers who visit these 100 stores the chance to make a difference to a school or group that’s doing amazing work on their doorstep.”
Golden Grants are awarded twice a year as part of Tesco Stronger Starts, a £5million grant programme in partnership with Groundwork UK.
