We would now like to ask that you help us further. We have been successful in being chosen as a project in the Tesco Stronger Starts. So, from the first week in October until mid-January 2026 we ask that with every purchase of any item or value you ask for a token and pop it in the correct collection point as you leave. There will be three projects to choose from but with your help, if we can get the most tokens collected, we will receive £1500 for coming first. Second place is worth £1000 and third is £500 and we will be grateful for any help. So please remember every time you shop in Tesco, Tetbury pick up a token and donate it to Shipton Moyne Playground Equipment and spread the word! Thank you.
