One Stop Community Partnership

---

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
• Running youth sports teams
• Reducing and/or recycling waste
• Improving the environment

Please note: we can’t support food bank 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.
