This week is Volunteer Week in the UK where organisations like us recognise the contribution which volunteers make to our shop. Our volunteers give so much to our organisation, without them we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Thank you to each and every one of you.
This adds to our other celebrations for this week - our 20th Birthday and reaching the finals of Rural Community Business awards - hope you can pop by on Saturday and raise a glass to all the wonderful team behind your Community Shop.

Woodgreen Community Shop are delighted to announce that we are finalists of the Going Green Award which is kindly sponsored by Wholefoods in the UK and Rural Community Business Awards 2026. In recent years, we’ve made significant strides in strengthening our sustainability and environmental performance. A key milestone has been the installation of a fully grant funded solar panel and battery storage system, which should now generate around 30% of our energy needs.
We’re looking forward to celebrating with other community businesses in London on 2 July! Check out Plunkett’s website to find out more: https://plunkett.co.uk/rural-community-business-awards/

Could you spare just one hour a month to support Downton Link?
Downton Link is a much loved local transport scheme serving Downton, Charlton, Woodfalls, Morgans Vale, Redlynch, Lover, Hale, Woodgreen and Breamore. It helps people get to medical appointments, shops, social activities and more — all thanks to volunteers who give a little of their time.
We’re delighted to welcome Phil Rogers (Chairman) to the shop on Tuesday 12 May, 10–11am. Why not drop in, say hello, and discover how you could get involved? Whether you’re curious about volunteering or think you might benefit from the service yourself, Phil will be happy to chat.
If you’d like to find out more beforehand, you can call 01725 513807 (Mon–Fri, 9–5) or email [email protected].

As many of you know, our shop is proudly community owned and a member of Plunkett UK, the charity that supports community businesses like ours across the country.
Plunkett are currently championing rural shops with Post Offices — including us here in Woodgreen — by highlighting to Government and the Post Office just how many community run stores are using their own profits to keep postal services going. It’s a huge issue for communities like ours, and we’re incredibly grateful for their work.
Here’s hoping their efforts spark the change we all need 🤞

We've included a quote from the Plunkett article here, if you are interested to know more here is a link to the full report.
