The important bit – the Shop’s Governance

Community shops are owned by their members/shareholders and are democratically run on a one-person-one-vote via an AGM.
The Committee is accountable to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and advised by the Plunkett Foundation. Strategic direction and oversight are the responsibility of a committee. Operational management and day to day running of the shop are in the job description of the salaried manager, supported by an assistant manager.
Our Committee & Managers
Our volunteers are supported by our Manager and Assistant Manager.
Catherine, our Shop Manager, was part of the original team that put the initial shop in place and has managed the shop since its official opening in September 2020. She knows every item on sale, all the local shoppers likes and dislikes and welcomes everyone with a smile.
Kirsty joined as Assistant Manager in February 2026. Originally from a small village in Wales, she feels at home serving the local community in a local shop. She brings a passion for community and enjoys working with the volunteers.
