GroceryAid: The help you've earned

Running your own business can be rewarding, but it's not without challenges and worries. When life throws unexpected hurdles your way, it's reassuring to know that support is available. That's where GroceryAid comes in.

Owning a convenience store can be incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. When unexpected pressures arise—it’s reassuring to know there’s help available.

Last year, GroceryAid supported 22,000+ grocery workers just like you. 

Any colleague working in the grocery industry can access GroceryAid’s emotional and practical support, plus financial advice, from the first day of their employment. After six months of continuous employment, colleagues may be eligible for a non-repayable financial grant.

At Better Biscuits, we’re committed to supporting independent retailers—not just with merchandising advice and free resources, but by signposting help when life gets tough. If you or someone you know needs support, don’t hesitate to reach out to GroceryAid.
