Highly commended in the 'Oxfordshire Community Shop of the Year Award' for its friendly approach, modern layout and wide range of products, Brightwell Village Stores is an important social hub as well as a place to buy excellent produce. Building costs were higher than expected and the shop had to obtain a loan on opening to cover running costs. Clearing this loan would mean that the shop can look forward to a healthy future and can put its funds into what really matters - serving the community.
Why the community needs usThe Village Stores has recently celebrated its second birthday and is staffed by a manager, part time supervisors and a large team of dedicated volunteers. Much of our produce is sourced from the local area. Our target is £10,000 to pay off the loan and help the Stores continue to provide its popular, essential service.
