Our journey started back in October 2019 when villagers started talking about taking over the ‘Session Music’ shop that was being advertised for sale or rent in our village.  A village survey was carried out to see how its population viewed the need for a village shop. The robust results demonstrated a  strong desire within our community to establish a shop.

In fact, the survey overwhelmingly showed villagers wanted a shop and café and most importantly make it the hub of our village, a place where people can come together.

What happened next…

A group of like-minded and passionate volunteers came together, and a Management Committee was formed and, by February 2020, we had created a Community Benefit Society, which is registered as a Limited Company.
