Cardenden Community Shop
Community Development
We would like to purchase a counter for our shop.
About this cause
The community shop is part of the C.C.D.F. who have been working on an action plan for 2013-2018. Part of this was the opening of the community shop. The community shop provides good quality second hand goods. At affordable prices for the people in the village and surrounding areas. We live in an area where there are a lot of people on low wages. Many are one parent families and are affected by the welfare reform. So to have a community shop in the village is a great advantage to them. We also provide opportunities for people to volunteer, this helps them in many ways. We also help people who need hands on working experience to help them get back into the work place.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Having a nice community shop to visit, that looks inviting - saying yes rich or poor, we all deserve to have the best we can have when out shopping. Making people feel worthwhile. A nice place to volunteer in. Or for placement students to undertake training.
