Together, we’ve saved our shop. Now let’s grow it!

Our founding members now own the store and as shareholders will get regular updates on its progress. THANK YOU EVERYONE. Together we have created a massive success story for the village and we can all be rightly proud of what we have achieved.

As a co-operative, all who bought shares are members of the business and have a vote and a say in how it is run at the Annual Members' Meeting.

Now we are getting ready for the next phase of community ownership with new and exciting opportunities in the pipeline...

Share membership will soon be even more accessible. The entry level has been reduced to just £25 (still one member = one vote). Once the change is approved by the FCA, it will open the door for more villagers to get involved. In the meantime, you can register your interest by email or by leaving your phone number at the shop.
