SHOPPERS at Tesco in Greenock and the Port will be able to back local organisations for community grant funding.

Tesco's community grants are open for applications and will award sums of up to £1,500 to projects.

Customers will be able to choose which project receives funding by voting in store when they shop.

The scheme is open to registered charities and not-for-profit organisations and applications can be made at tescocommunitygrants.org.uk
