GroceryAid is at hand to help shop staff

GroceryAid has urged independent shop owners to get in touch if their staff suffer financial, physical or mental health problems.

GroceryAid has urged independent shop owners to get in touch if their staff suffer financial, physical or mental health problems.

The charity’s welfare director, Mandi Leonard, told RN: “We’re receiving more than 100 requests for help a month, and a large proportion of these come from retail staff – including those in the independent sector.”

She said the convenience sector “is going through a once-in-a-generation restructure”, and that while independent shops are too small to have a HR department, GroceryAid can fill the gap.

“Our incident hotline is relevant to store owners and staff,” she said. “When we hear of robberies, racial abuse or assaults, we provide a 12-week process.”
