One Stop Community Partnership Programme
We are extremely proud to be part of the local communities we serve and that’s why we are even more excited to welcome applications for the One Stop Community Partnership programme.
Local Community Groups are able to apply for funding to support the group and to develop a new or ongoing project in their local communities. Successful applicants will receive an initial grant of up to £500 to support their project.
This programme is designed to support community groups or organisations operating within two miles of a One Stop store and which are;
- Tackling food poverty
- Supporting the vulnerable
- Supporting the elderly
- Supporting low-income families
- Supporting local sports teams
- Improving the local environment
- Reducing waste in the community
Please note: we can’t support food bank or breakfast club projects that are requesting funding to purchase food items. Please contact your local One Stop store manager as it may be possible to discuss setting up food bank donation point at your local store. Funding can be awarded to food banks for equipment such as fridges, freezers or to purchase storage units.
