SOLAR PANELS
Since the beginning of June, 90 percent of the Shop’s power has come from the new solar panels and batteries. Good for the environment and good for keeping our expenses and our prices down!
Springtime Volunteer Get Together
Amy, Fiona and the Shop Committee organised a wonderful Spring Volunteer Social Event on Friday 19 April. A great chance to get together for a catch up, meet new volunteers and enjoy some delicious food and drink. It was also a lovely opportunity to thank all our Volunteers in person, as well as their partners and families, of course!
Happy Christmas Everyone!
Amy and Fiona, our lovely Christmas elves, would like to take a moment to wish all of our customers, volunteers, shop committee members and our suppliers a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
