Best Community Project 2017
We are a community volunteer group based in our own bright. airy space at Sandford-on-Thames' Village Hall. We usually run a cafe, convenient shop & community activities.
During the Lockdown
At the moment we're offering a safe, friendly space to shop for a wide range of fresh fruit & veg, bread, eggs, meat, dairy and lots more.
We buy from lots of local suppliers as well as stocking bigger brands.
We have a great line of refills from Oxford based SESI.
To keep everyone safe we're restricting the number of customers in the shop at any one time so that people can keep at least 2m apart. And we're asking all customers to wash their hands in our toilet before they shop.
