We did it! Thank you for your help!

With overwhelming local support, and the need for a shop in the Parish, it is proposed that the premises known as Summink Different be acquired to be used as a site for a new shop.

​

It is proposed that a part-time manager be appointed, supported by local volunteers, providing retail services and possible a cafe hub to help make the site a cornerstone of local life and an addition to the local economy.

​

A business plan has been prepared to support the project. Start up costs to cover the purchase of the lease, legal fees, shop fitting, initial stock, and a contingency fund to provide a stable financial foundation are estimated to be £85,000.

​

Initial funding through Crowdfunder and match funding has now been secured. If needed, this will be supplemented by a Community Share scheme. Our Crowdfunder page has now been paused. If you would like to donate more, please contact the steering group.
