Volunteering & Membership

Be part of something special!

Our shop is only possible thanks to volunteers who give their time to serve customers, stock shelves, manage deliveries, and even water the garden.

Membership

As a Community Benefit Society, the shop is owned by its members. By becoming a member, you’re not just supporting a shop — you’re helping to secure vital services for the whole village.

Members can:

  • Attend and vote at the AGM

  • Help guide the shop’s future

  • Take pride in being part-owner of a true community success

  • Ask in store for details on how to join.

Community Garden

A green space for everyone

Behind the shop, our community garden offers a peaceful place to relax, meet friends, and enjoy village life.

We use it for:

  • Coffee mornings and social gatherings

  • Seasonal celebrations

  • Community events and fundraisers

  • A place to sit with your shopping and enjoy a hot drink

Want to use the garden for your group or event? Contact us — it’s here for the whole village!
