Tesco shoppers at Dunfermline Extra have a golden hour this Saturday (March 16) to help win a £5,000 Golden Grant for a local school or a community group that supports children.
As part of the supermarket’s ‘Stronger Starts’ campaign, shoppers in 100 Tesco stores can take a lucky dip to find a gold version of Tesco’s famous blue voting token, between noon and 1pm.
Customers who find a gold token will be able to choose what local school or project will receive a Golden Grant, which they can spend on equipment or healthy food.
In Dunfermline, the three recipients vying with a chance of being awarded the Golden Token and £5,000 are Abbeyview Kids Club, Aberdour and Dalgety Bay Girl Guiding, and Cairneyhill Athletic Football Club.

Claire De Silva, head of communities for Tesco, said: “Right now, £5,000 can make a massive difference to a school or community project and help them give children a stronger start in life.
"Our Stronger Starts campaign has already funded so many groups and schools right across the UK and we can’t wait to see what these Golden Tokens can do in more communities across the country.
“We’re giving customers who visit these 100 stores the chance to make a difference to a school or group that’s doing amazing work on their doorstep.”
Schools and children’s groups can apply via Groundwork for a grant by going to www.tescoplc.com/strongerstarts .
Successful applications will go to a vote in their local Tesco store where customers choose which of the three projects they’d like to support.
