GroceryAid Day returned for 2023 helping raise awareness about the FREE and confidential welfare support available through GroceryAid
GroceryAid Day was held on Wednesday 10th May 2023, with over 300 retail organisations taking the opportunity to promote and engage with their teams about the amazing services that GroceryAid can provide. The services can be a lifeline for a lot of people during these difficult and uncertain times. GroceryAid is the grocery Industries leading health and welfare charity. People who work, or have worked, in the grocery industry can use GroceryAid for financial support and practical assistance. This includes support and guidance on health and wellbeing, personal issues, benefits, career, housing, and legal issues.
One O One Convenience Stores is the largest independent retail chain in Scotland with 47 Stores and over 500 employees. On Grocery-Aid day we took the opportunity to talk about all things GroceryAid in all our stores with our employees.
Each store set up a designated employee area in their back store areas from 9th until 11th May displaying all the GroceryAid marketing materials. The teams were given bunting, and balloons to decorate the areas, cakes and sweets, and some employees even dressed up for the occasion!
Crucially, the aim of the day was raise awareness about the very real problems that employees are facing in their everyday life, and ensure everyone was aware of the help and support GroceryAid can offer.
Taking part in GroceryAid day allowed One O One to get a strong message to our employees, that no matter what they are dealing with we want to provide help, and together with the services from GroceryAid we can make a difference!
We urge any colleagues to get in touch via the 24/7 helpline 08088 021 122 or on the live chat via www.groceryaid.org.uk if they find themselves in difficult times.
