Project Description
This project will support the development of a centrally located food supermarket, Lincoln Community Grocery Store, that would alleviate issues of food poverty, address food wastage and support health issues leading to economic opportunities and longer-term productivity.
With a focus on helping local people build resilience, The Store of Stories (Lincoln Community Grocery Store) will provide low cost locally supplied waste and surplus food and other essential items, alongside a programme of advice, support and training, volunteering, and work placements opportunities. The funding successfully supported the move to Beaumont Manor in 2022, the shop's permanent location.
Total project cost: £266,500
Town Deal funding: £226,000
