The One Stop Community Partnership provides small grants to local community groups and organisations delivering projects that benefit people in their communities.

Funding is available for organisations working within two miles of a One Stop store and supporting activities such as:

  • Tackling food poverty
  • Supporting vulnerable people
  • Supporting older people
  • Supporting low-income families
  • Running youth sports teams
  • Reducing or recycling waste
  • Improving the local environment

Food banks cannot apply for funding to purchase food, but can apply for equipment such as fridges, freezers and storage units.

Who can apply?

Community groups and organisations can apply where their organisation or project address is within two miles of a One Stop store participating in the funding programme.

Organisations that have received One Stop Community Partnership funding within the last 12 months are not eligible to apply.

Only one application can be submitted per organisation.

What size grants are available?

Grants of up to £500 are available.
