Did you know that Motcombe has a fabulous community shop?! 👀
Next time you visit us, why not pop down the hill and say hello to the wonderful team who keep our village shop going. They even sell the coffee we use! ☕️

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
Motcombe Community Shop is here to serve the Village; not to make a profit beyond that needed to keep the business running. It accommodates and subsidises the Post Office, a separate business, which could not operate by itself.
It is fair to say that, between them, the Shop and Post Office contribute enormously to the life of the Village, and, without them, Motcombe would be a much-diminished community.
The Shop needs your regular custom, and we very, very much appreciate it.
Despite a great deal of local competition, we are breaking even and surviving. However, there are many challenges for any small business these days and a community-run shop is no different. In addition to your custom and the hard work of the staff and volunteers, we rely on the generosity of shareholders and donations, as well as occasional grants, to keep the Shop running.
But by far the most important source of income is trade – ie customers - ie you. Please keep coming in and please spread the word: using your local shop is more convenient, more fun and more environmentally friendly than driving off to the supermarket every time; and it is very important to the community life of the Village. Try us first.
Many thanks, Graham
WALK THIS WAY AND SHOP LOCAL
