England Lioness and Manchester United forward Ella Toone has hailed a new community grant scheme after dedicating her success in the women's professional game to playing so much at a grassroots level.
Toone is a proud part of the Tesco Golden Grants campaign, which tomorrow will see shoppers in 100 large Tesco stores across the UK given the chance to take part in a lucky dip. The aim is to find the specially created gold versions of its iconic blue voting token which is worth £1million in grants to local good causes.
The forward told Mirror Football: “It was massive for me as I really want to give back as much as I can to local grassroots, local communities so as soon as they offered it to me, I couldn’t wait to get involved.”
