With children from Shipston Primary School launching the store’s fundraising token scheme and Shipston Food Bank receiving a donation, it showed the start of the store’s commitment to its local community, according to Tesco Shipston manager, George Wylde.
“We wanted to get off on the right foot and be part of the town,” said George. “So supporting local charities and helping where we can was always going to be important. Now it’s business as usual, and it’s time to throw ourselves into the local community.”
