Community Shop!
We are a shop located in the beautiful Rutland village of Barrowden.
But we want to be more than just a shop - we provide a range of
services to the local community. Find out more About us We
also try to be a centre of interest and activity for the village as a
whole. So, when the Surgery closed down its Pharmacy, it was the Shop
that organised a farewell gift and appreciation for Mustapha the
pharmacist. We have also tried to note our own anniversaries with
something a bit special too. There is no point in having both a Lord
Lieutenant and a High Sheriff within easy driving disance if you don't
invite them to join you for special events. Read below for our accounts
of their visits.
Read more about the
beautiful village of Barrowden in the delightful County of Rutland
on the village's own website. See www.villagelinks.co.uk The
Community Shop is most grateful to the Barrowden Village web-site and
its editors for their kindness in hosting pages for us in the past. Now
that we have our own web-site it seems simplest for us to edit our
content directly rather than needing to involve
the Village's editors each time. Thank you for all their help to
Caroline and Iain McBain. (Any errors or
inadequacies in the web-site are ours alone now. Ouch!)We hope you are enjoying 2014.We hope too that our Community Shop is a part of your pattern in the present year. If it is not yet, then we hope it soon will be. We offer a wide range of goods, from everyday groceries like bread and milk through
the regular needs of a household to gifts for friends and neighbours.
Our wooden gifts, and our scarves and bags are popular with people
wanting something a little different to give from Barrowden. We reckon our prices compare well with the local High Street, and often too with the supermarkets. Well, perhaps not their special offers and catch-your-eye promotions, but what about all those items that creep up a bit to make up for the offers? We should love to do a proper price comparison of a sample basket of ordinary things, because, comparing like with like, we think we will come off very well. If you are willing to help with this, have a word with our Manager David Lewis or one of the volunteers and hopefully they will point you in the right direction.
Or write to us at <manager@barrowdenshop.org>. Do share your
ideas about this or anything else about the Community Shop. We want it to be a genuine Community activity where all kinds of contributions are welcome.Have you heard about our Awards from the Rural Community Council? See Awards
