Tesco Community Champion John Bailey and ManHealth's Paul Bannister A TESCO store has donated thousands to local charities and causes to help them recover from the Covid pandemic. The Bag Of Help scheme runs across all Tesco stores, each store has three local charities and cause that money will go to. The amount of money is decided on how many in store votes the cause received from customers. Due to Covid no voting has been allowed in the Bishop Auckland store so a panel has been meeting up and awarding £1,000 to groups who have applied, and the latest three groups received their funding.
