Shopping Vouchers for Millport Community Shop Members
No comments
North Coast and Cumbraes
Summary
We intend to give regular shoppers at the Community Shop a voucher to use in the local convenience store. The Community Shop offers members a 'top up shop' at low cost but, with Christmas coming up and the Cost of Living rising daily, members are finding it more and more difficult to buy essential groceries. The local convenience store has been very supportive of the Community Shop and this will also serve as a 'thank you' to them.
Description
The Community Shop has a membership of over 200, with an average of 60 shoppers per week. This clearly shows the need for this service on the Island. Whereas the Community Shop provides a 'top up shop', members struggle to buy grocery essentials.
We would like to provide vouchers for the regular members to help buy essential groceries over the Christmas/Winter period.
All regular shoppers would receive a £15 voucher to spend in the local convenience store, thereby supporting a local business.
We would also like to give each regular shopper a box of biscuits/shortbread with their voucher, a luxury some of them cannot afford.
