The project is now moving forward very quickly. Thinking ahead can you spare some time to help us run the shop?
Information sessions are planned for 11th and 15th July. These will give lots of information on how the shop, post office and cafe will operate and provide an opportunity for discussion, suggestions and questions. Everyone is welcome to attend and will send out more details in May.
In April 2022 there was a very enthusiastic response from about 60 prospective volunteers of all ages. At this level an offer of two hours per week would keep the shop running effectively and able to provide a wide range of services to the community including:
- Groceries
- Cafe
- Postal services
- Wine and spirits
- Newspaper delivery
- Takeaway refreshments
- Prescription collection
- Dry cleaning drop off and pick up
- Parcel collection and delivery point
- Advertisement board
- Tickets for local events
- Local delivery service
This video by the Plunkett Foundation gives a good overview of what volunteering offers. If you think you can help please do Contact us for a chat.
