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.
We are now ready for the next phase of community ownership with new and exciting opportunities...

Following on from our successful, initial founder members' investment opportunity, share membership is now even more accessible. The entry level has been reduced to just £25 per share (still one member = one vote). This opens the door for more villagers to get involved. (Updated April 2026)

It's not too late to join in. You make a donation to support this community co-operative venture. If you are interested please ask in the shop or speak to a member of the team.
You can pick up a form in store or download it here.
