  • Tackle Food Poverty.
  • Support the Vulnerable.
  • Support the Elderly.
  • Support low income families.
  • Running Youth Sports Teams.
  • Reducing/Recycling Waste
  • Improving the Environment

Grants of up to £1,000 are available to successful applicants to begin a partnership with their local One Stop store.

Applications are invited from:

  • Voluntary and community organisations.
  • Registered charities.
  • Schools.
  • Health bodies.
  • Parish/Town councils.
  • Social enterprises.
  • Community Interest Companies (running for a minimum of two years).
  • Community councils.
  • Local authorities.
  • Housing organisations.

Applications from organisations such as women’s refuges, food banks, hospices, homeless charities, charities supporting the elderly or children are typically welcome. However, this list is not exhaustive and other organisational types will be funded.

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.

Applications can be made at any time.

Before starting an application, applicants should first use the Store Locator, available on the Groundwork website, to check the distance to the local One Stop store and whether funding is currently available there.

Guidance notes are available on the Groundwork website.
