GLASGOW charities are being encouraged to apply for Tesco Community Grants.
The group is aiming to fund charities with a focus on helping children and families access food.
Funds of £500, £1000 and £1500 will be available to shortlisted groups following a public vote.
Keith Jackson, Tesco Community Grant Manager at Tesco, said: “Over the years, we’ve been delighted to have been able to support so many charities, community groups and organisations from every corner of the UK.
"The help and support they provide to families and children is now more important than ever.
“We’re encouraging groups in Glasgow to apply for funding as we hope to see the fantastic community work they provide to continue long into the future."
Emma Halliday, at greenspace Scotland, said: “The last year has been extremely difficult for everyone, and that includes community groups and charities who will have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic. Many groups have seen a surge in demand for their services which has caused mounting pressure.
“We’re delighted to be working with Tesco to provide these much-needed funds, which will help to support local communities as we recover from the pandemic.”
