One Stop Community Partnership Funding

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 partnership with their local store. Successful applicants will receive an initial grant of up to £1,000, and begin a partnership with their local One Stop store.

This programme is designed to support community groups or organisations operating within two miles of a One Stop store and which are;

• Supporting local sports teams
• Supporting low-income families
• Improving the local environment
• Reducing Waste in the community
• Tackling food poverty
• Supporting the vulnerable
• Supporting the elderly

Taking a partnership approach

The programme provides partnership as well as financial assistance. Alongside a grant of up to £1,000, and the opportunity to create a long-term tailored programme of support for successful applicants with their local One Stop Store Team. Grant recipients then work in partnership with the One Stop Store Team at their local shop to deliver support to the community. The tailored support from the store teams will help community causes to increase or improve their service by assisting in areas such as but not limited to; volunteering support, fundraising and awareness-raising.

To be eligible to apply, your organisation or project location address must be within two miles of a One Stop store.

Our funding programme runs in quarterly rounds. Please see below the application cut off windows:
