Laois Youth Services, Laois Sports Partnership and Abbeyleix Junior Hockey Club are the groups in Laois which will receive donations from local stores in the latest round of funding.
Tesco say that everyone is welcome in their stores and encouraging a diverse and inclusive culture is embedded in the company’s core values.
Commenting on the latest round of donations, Rosemary Garth, Communications Director, Tesco Ireland said: “We are delighted to announce details of the latest Community Fund project which has allowed Tesco Ireland to help local causes in support of diversity and inclusion across the country.
“We are delighted this Community Fund will help to support Laois Youth Services, Laois Sports Partnership and Abbeyleix Junior Hockey Club in Laois.”
Launched in July 2014, the Tesco Community Fund supports local causes in the communities around its 151 stores throughout Ireland.
