Do any of your supporters work for Tesco? Do they take part in fundraising for you?
If so, they could raise an extra 20% for you, at no extra cost to them.

According to Tesco, “all Tesco colleagues may apply to the Tesco Charity Trust for**
20% top-up** on their personal fundraising”.

So, it’s not just the big national charity partner that can benefit in this way.
Tesco does of course automatically top-up staff fundraising for its partner charity
and for Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life. But any charity, including small and
local charities, can benefit from Tesco staff members’ fundraising activities in
this way.

How? First, remind them about the opportunity in your supporter news letters or 
via your Facebook page.

Secondly, tell them how to do it. Tesco’s advice is: “Colleagues wishing to apply
for 20% top-up should email [ch***************@******co.com](https://fundraising.co.uk/2014/09/06/every-little-helps-tesco-tops-staff-fundraising-20/ch***************@******co.com)“.
