Everyone's Future
Computers for Schools
Since we launched this scheme in 1992, we've given schools over £100 million worth of computer equipment, including more than 57,000 state-of-the-art computers and more than 740,000 additional items of IT equipment.
Over 86% of UK schools take part. Last year, customers, staff and schools collected an amazing £390 million.
So it probably comes as no surprise that Tesco Computers for Schools is the UK's longest running schools promotion, and for six consecutive years has been awarded the 'Mark of Excellence' from Business in the Community.
The scheme follows our Every Little Helps principle, bringing people together in a joint effort, which delivers benefits for the whole community.
How it works
Our customers receive one voucher for every £10 they spend in a single transaction. This is then donated to a school of their choice, the school exchanges vouchers for free computer equipment.
In 2005, we were able to provide schools with over £9 million worth of equipment, including 2,500 computers and 108,000 additional items of computer related equipment.
For 2006, there are almost 600 items in the catalogue, including a new early years' section, updated music section, energy efficiency kit and a greater variety of PCs and monitors.
Sport for Schools and Clubs
In September 2005, we launched 'Sport for Schools & Clubs' - the idea is to encourage children to get active and try new sports.
The vouchers customers collect by can be exchanged for free sports equipment and professional coaching sessions. During the eight weeks of the scheme we gave out 320 million vouchers - the equivalent of 50,000 coaching sessions or 60 million tennis balls.
