TWO Ealing Tesco stores are offering a helping hand to the community with the launch of a new competition.

Tesco Metro at Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre and Tesco Express at The Parade, Haven Green, have teamed up to run a Helping Hand competition, offering groups and charities the chance to win £2,000.

Shoppers at both supermarkets will be able to nominate causes they feel deserve a little extra help.

James Moss, store manager of Tesco Metro, said: “Playing a positive role within our local community is important to us, so I’m really looking forward to seeing the nominations and getting to know more about worthwhile causes in our area.”

The competition will close on February 8. Winners will be selected by Mr Moss and Tesco Express store manager, Justyna Ezekwe.

Customers can fill out a form and drop it in an entry box at the customer service desk.
