**The Asda Foundation is inviting applications for grants to reunite communities,
celebrate togetherness, and support groups as Covid restrictions begin to ease during
July, August and September.**

Grants of between £250 and £1,000 are available through the Bringing Communities
Back Together fund, aimed at helping to either get activities back on track such
as gardening clubs, lunch clubs and recreational activities; for holding a get-together
event such as a welcome back party or community celebration; or a combination of
the two.

Groups that can apply include PTAs, local community groups, charity, Community Interest
Group, sports group, not-for-profit, elderly clubs, lunch clubs, arts and crafts
groups, other hobbyist clubs, council-run groups and parish councils.

2021 to submit them instore to an Asda Community Champion. Application forms and
further information is also available on [the Asda Foundation site](https://www.asdafoundation.org/how-to-apply).

Grants are specifically for the summer months of July-September, with phase 2 of
the grants programme to cover October to December activity. Information about this
second phase will come in August.

Nominations are also currently open for Asda’s Green Token Giving scheme, and due
to Covid, voting is going online this summer.

Under this scheme, superstores will feature three community projects online that
have been nominated by customers and colleagues. They will all be local, grassroots
organisations having a positive impact on their local community. The group with 
the most online votes will receive a £500 donation with second and third place each
receiving £200. More information on this scheme and how to nominate a good cause
is also available on the [Asda Foundation site](https://www.asdafoundation.org/how-to-apply).
