£6,252 for three armed forces groups in Bury St Edmunds

Scotty’s Little Soldiers, Bury St Edmunds Sea Cadets and 301 Sqn ATC Civilian Committee are among groups in the town to benefit from Tesco’s Bags of Help campaign.

They are three organisations from 17 armed forces groups across the country to share £100,000 in funding after Tescos customers voted to chose which projects they thought deserved a slice of the pot.

Scotty’s Little Soldiers are set to receive £4,000, Bury St Edmunds Sea Cadets £1,252 and 301 Sqn ATC Civilian Committee will receive £1,000.

Alec Brown, head of community and local communications at Tesco, said: “Our servicemen and women make great sacrifices not just for the communities to have benefited from this special round of voting but in communities across the UK and beyond. It’s a real privilege top award these groups a Bags of Help grant and we are very much looking forward to seeing how the funds are put into action helping serving men and women and their families.”
