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 their group and to develop an ongoing partnership with your 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; 
• Tackling food poverty 
• Supporting the vulnerable 
• Supporting the elderly 
• Supporting low-income families 
• Supporting a healthier lifestyle, such as Youth sports teams 

If you have a local community group you would like to support encourage them to apply today! 

So far we have funded and are supporting over 500 groups since the programme launched in 2020. Groups have been funding with over £700,000 worth of funding during that time, Check out of map of groups to see what we have funded in your local community.

Taking a partnership approach 
Once funding has been agreed, alongside a grant of up to £1,000, a long-term tailored programme of support is created for successful applicants by the One Stop Community team and One Stop Store team. Grant recipients then work in partnership with the One Stop Store team at their local shop to deliver this programme. 

The tailored support from the store teams will help community causes to increase or improve their service by assisting in areas such as, volunteering support & additional fundraising
