In summer 2019, SPIIOW was selected as one of the featured community causes in Isle of Wight Tesco stores under the Bags of Help community grant scheme.
Customers used blue voting tokens at checkouts in Ryde and other Island branches to vote for local charity projects, providing grassroots funding for educational brochures and crisis signposting.
Supermarket community schemes continue to be a valuable lifeline for local Isle of Wight charities, including local foodbanks, youth clubs, and mental health groups.
