Tesco Golden Grants: Four east London schools benefit

Lathom Junior School in East Ham, Stoneydown Park Primary School in Walthamstow, Hague Primary School in Bethnal Green, and Mayflower Primary School in Poplar were picked by a Tesco customer to benefit from the supermarket’s £5,000 Golden Grant.

The selections were made by customers at Green Gate Barking Road Express, Leyton Express, London St Katharine Express, and Poplar High Street Express, who participated in a lucky dip for a golden version of Tesco’s blue voting token.
