Coronation: One Stop donates £25,000 for community celebrations

Coronation: One Stop donates £25,000 for community celebrations

One Stop has provided 100 community groups each with £250 donations through their ‘Community Partnership Programme’ to celebrate the King’s Coronation.

“We look forward to seeing how these donations will support events up and down the country, both big and small,” Jack Taylor, One Stop’s community and partnership manager, said.


“The King’s Coronation will bring the whole country together, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer our support to those looking to celebrate this historic event.”

To commemorate the event, One Stop has also donated a bench to the residents of Samuel Hobson House, a care home in Stoke-on-Trent. The bench was made from recycled plastic which was collected from One Stop’s stores and sorted by the One Stop Distribution Centre Recycling Team. The plastic was originally used in flowerpots in-stores, but through their partnership with Veolia the finished article was created.

The event will also be marked across all One Stop stores as well as online, with a coronation menu added to all online platforms. One Stop has also worked with Deliveroo to create an exclusive coronation bundle with Becky Scones, One Stop Double Cream and One Stop Strawberry Jam all for just £4.50.

The offers and promotions in-store are equally appealing and suitable for the occasion with a wide selection of BBQ meats, buns, sauces as well as desserts and refreshments such as 3 for £5.50 on ready to drink cocktails.

“We will have specially designed displays and offers in-store and online, helping our customers celebrate the occasion to the fullest. As well as this we’ve created an interactive Coronation themed game on our website, with a London trip for two to be won,” Nigel Prendergast, One Stop’s head of customer and business support, added.

The challenge for players of the online game is to match two London themed images, six times to win and reveal all the face down cards in 30 seconds. The game is free to play, but players must be 18 or over.
