TESCO customers can give a boost to charity when doing their shopping.
From tomorrow (September 12) until October 2, people may choose to round up their shop to the nearest £1 at self-service tills.
Proceeds will go to Tesco's 'Helping you to live healthier' campaign in aid of Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK.
Last year, the initiative raised over £1 million.
The venture also aims to increase awareness about the importance of making lifestyle changes to help improve your health.
Oonagh Turnbull – for Tesco, whose stores locally include an Express outlet at Crossflatts – says: "The funds raised will continue to support the health of UK communities at a critical time. The health charity organisations rely on donations to continue their awareness, prevention and research work."
The campaign is part of a partnership between the supermarket giant and the three charities.
Michelle Mitchell – of Cancer Research UK, for the partnership – said: "We’d like to thank everyone who through this campaign supports the important work we all do – we’re grateful for the generosity of shoppers.
"Campaigns like ‘Helping you to live healthier’ are a great way to raise money and encourage people to make healthier choices."
