About

Essex County Council awarded a contract to The Michael Roberts Charitable Trust for the establishment of a not-for-profit Community Supermarket in Harlow, Essex, under Phase 3 of the Bringing Community Supermarkets to Essex programme.

The contract, valued at £68,236, aims to create a community asset that supports individuals and families experiencing financial crisis or fluctuating financial security, particularly in areas identified through the council's Levelling-Up geographies and Working Families priority areas, overlaid with the 2019 Indices of Multiple Deprivation.

The programme is designed to be established with the support of local public, voluntary, and community sector partners, as well as residents and service users, and the funding will seed fund development and start-up costs.
