A TRIO of Somerset charities have benefited from the latest round of donations from Minehead Tesco.

The proceeds from the store's latest Bags of Help scheme have been handed to three more worthy causes.

The Exmoor Pony Centre received £4,000 for improvements to their visitor paddocks area, Minehead Army Cadets got £2,000 and Stogumber Parish Council received £1,000.

Tesco community champion Kirsty Allen presented cheques to the Exmoor Pony Centre and Stogumber Parish Council.

Any non-profit organisations or charities looking for help should log on to www.tesco.com/bagsofhelp and fill out the ‘Groundwork’ application form.
