Community Champions are one of the links between the store and the community it serves. With expert knowledge of programmes such as our Food Collections and Community Grants scheme, Community Champions help people to understand how to benefit from them. They assist with filling in grant application forms, or give contact information about our charity partners and share other useful tools.Community Champions also manage a small community donation budget that can be used for financial support for community groups or events.They are also the point of contact for charities and community groups wishing to visit the store for awareness days or to fundraise.What do Community Champions do:- Help with applications for one of our Community Programmes (Surplus food donations, Community Food Connection, or Tesco Community Grants)- Offer small donations to their community for events and support (e.g., oranges for a school sports day, a box of chocolates for a raffle prize)- Visit local community groups. They play an active role in getting to know local organisations and schools.- Engage and communicate with customers around what the store can do for the community. They can use a noticeboard, local press, and in-person contact to communicate with as many people as possible.- Offer guidance on in-store bookings for charities and community groups.
