Edinburgh Tesco store supporting children’s charity
The store made the £250 voucher donation to 'Kids Loves Clothes', a Ratho-based charity, which will allow the charity to purchase clothes from F&F - Tesco’s clothing range – to then give to local children in need.
Kids Love Clothes was set up 15 years ago and is an entirely volunteer-led charity that provides clothing to disadvantaged children in local communities across the Lothians.

In 2023, the charity gave over 1,800 children giftbags of clothing and have helped tens of thousands of local kids since launching in 2009.
Deborah Brown, Community Champion at Edinburgh Corstorphine Tesco Extra, said: “I’m delighted that the team and I can support such a wonderful charity, especially one in the Lothians, as we’re all extremely passionate about giving back to those who need extra support in our local communities.
“I hope this voucher will help Kids Love Clothes, allowing the charity to provide warm clothing for children as we approach the colder months, as well as relief for their families.”
