Our History
Roots deep in
the community
In late 2016, the last remaining village shop closed. Public meetings were held, working parties formed and quickly the community set to work on setting up a community shop, with guidance from the Plunkett Foundation.
Finding a site for the shop was a significant challenge and we are grateful to the Methodist Church for granting us a 10- year lease on land adjacent to the chapel.
Kevin, our shop manager has been with us since we opened in May 2018. He’s been supported by many volunteers who work in the shop and on the management committee.
Watch The Recharging Rural Video
The residents of Cheriton Fitzpaine in Devon rallied together to set up a community shop when their old post office faced closure. Hear how they got their project off the ground in just 18 months!
We are a community benefit society
We are registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, with not-for-profit status, our purpose being to serve the community.
