Community groups and charities across the UK can apply for support through the One Stop Community Partnership Programme, delivered by Groundwork UK in partnership with One Stop Stores Ltd.
The programme offers grants of up to £1,000 to help local organisations develop or expand projects that benefit their communities. In addition to funding, successful groups also receive the opportunity to build a long-term partnership with their local One Stop store, which can include volunteering support, fundraising help and awareness-raising activities.
Funding is available for projects that support local priorities such as:
- Tackling food poverty
- Supporting vulnerable people and older residents
- Helping low-income families
- Running youth sports teams
- Improving the environment or reducing waste
Eligible applicants include charities, voluntary and community groups, schools, social enterprises, and Community Interest Companies located within two miles of a One Stop store.
The programme runs several funding rounds each year, helping grassroots organisations deliver practical projects that strengthen communities and provide support where it is most needed.
The next deadline for applications is 31 March 2026.
