Community Shops
Community shops are built around more than simply selling things. Many exist to support a neighbourhood, provide useful local services, create volunteering opportunities or help keep an important shop open where it might otherwise disappear.
What they offer can vary considerably. Some focus on groceries and everyday essentials, while others sell donated goods, locally made products, affordable items or products that help raise money for a community organisation or cause.
They are places where everyday shopping can have a wider purpose, helping support local projects, people and services while giving residents somewhere useful and welcoming to visit.
