  • Tackling food poverty
  • Supporting the vulnerable
  • Supporting the elderly
  • Supporting low-income families
  • Running youth sports teams
  • Reducing and/or recycling waste
  • Improving the environment

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.

Taking a partnership approach

Alongside a grant of up to £1,000, there is 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, including volunteering support, fundraising and awareness-raising.
