One Stop - Community Partnership

---

Successful applicants received 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
• Running youth sports teams
• Reducing / recycling waste
• Improving the environment

Please note we cannot support food bank/breakfast club projects that are requesting funding to purchase food items. However 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

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.

Please only submit one application, so please prioritise your key project and do not submit applications for more than one project and do not submit multiple applications but with different store postcodes. If you have received funding from One Stop Community Partnerships in the last 12 months you are ineligible to apply for funding on this occasion. If you have received funding for a project more than 12 months ago, you are welcome to apply.
