Following our successful AMM today, a few things were highlighted that we’ll be working to resolve.

One of these was a lack of clarity around our Loyalty Card scheme, so we wanted to share all the information in one place. 💚

Our loyalty card is our way of saying thank you for shopping local and supporting Dobcross Village Store. Every time you use it, you earn points, plus you’ll have the chance to benefit from our monthly bonus and bi-annual hamper draws.

The image below explains everything you need to know, including how to join, earn and spend points, what happens if you forget or lose your card, and how your points can even be donated to support good causes.

We hope this clears things up, but if you have any questions, please just ask one of our team or volunteers in the shop. We’re always happy to help. 😊

We will be adding this poster to our information boards also ❤️

💷 PAYING CASH? YOU’RE HELPING YOUR VILLAGE STORE! 💷

Did you know there’s a simple way you can help support Dobcross Village Store when doing your shopping?

🏤 Withdraw your cash from our Post Office counter
🛒 Then use that cash to pay for your shopping in the store

It’s a win-win for your local shop! ❤️

When you withdraw cash at our Post Office, we earn a small commission on the transaction. Then, by paying for your shopping in cash rather than by card, we also avoid the card processing fee.

So instead of us paying a fee to take your card payment, your cash withdrawal actually helps generate a little extra income for the shop.

It might only be a small amount each time, but across our wonderful village community, those little amounts really do add up.

🏤 Withdraw at the Post Office
💷 Pay with cash
❤️ Support your local village store

✨ This week at Dobcross Village Store… ✨

It’s been another busy week in the village store! 💚

🎨 We picked the winners of our colouring competition. A huge well done to Annie and Mya! We loved seeing all the brilliant entries, and choosing our winners wasn’t easy!

👑 Steve has only gone and done it AGAIN! He won our Members Draw for the THIRD time! 😂🏆
Remember, Loyalty Members can get a ticket for just £2. Surely someone can take Steve’s crown next time?! 👀🎟️

🐶 We also had the pleasure of meeting two gorgeous new puppies this week. It’s always a highlight when four-legged visitors pop in to say hello! 🐾

💚 We met the lovely Rashee from Tesco Greenfield, who very kindly brought along some treats for our volunteers.

🧹 And we finished off the week with a good cleaning session with some of our wonderful volunteers. A big thank you to everyone who mucked in and helped keep the store looking its best. 💚

Another lovely week of prizes, puppies, treats and community spirit at Dobcross Village Store!

❤️ Our village store really is a family affair! ❤️

Today, the next generation of our shop community got together for a very important meeting… otherwise known as a play date! 🥰

Our manager’s daughter, Olive, and one of our lovely volunteer’s daughters, Alice, have formed a little friendship through the shop and spent some quality time together today.

As well as carrying out their very important duties as Chief Squishy Testers 🧸😂, they made sure our Community Corner was very well utilised!

It’s lovely to see that our community owned shop isn’t just a place to pick up the essentials, it’s a place where friendships are made, families come together and our little community grows. ❤️

We think these two might be running the place one day! 😉

🙌 Could YOU spare a little time for Dobcross Village Store?

Our community owned village shop is powered by a brilliant team of volunteers, and we’d love to welcome some new faces!

There are lots of ways you can get involved, including:

🛒 Stocking shelves
😊 Serving customers on the till
🧹 Helping keep the shop clean and tidy
✨ Merchandising and making our displays look great

And don’t worry if you don’t feel able to do all of those things!

You can simply become one of our ‘Helpers’, lending a hand with just one or two roles that you’re comfortable with. Every bit of help makes a difference.

Volunteering could be perfect for:

👨‍👩‍👧 Mums and dads with a little time between school drop-off and pick-up
🎓 University students wanting useful experience to add to their CV
💼 People who work but would enjoy a change of scene and some decompression time
🌱 Anyone looking for work who wants to keep active, meet people and gain experience
☕ Retired people who fancy getting out, having a chat and being part of village life

Our current volunteers are a wonderful mix of people, retired, working, looking for work and everything in between.

It’s fun, rewarding and sociable, it keeps the brain ticking over, and most importantly, you’ll be helping to support Dobcross and keep our community-owned village shop thriving. ❤️

Interested? Pop into Dobcross Village Store for a chat with one of the team and pick up a volunteer form.

You might be surprised how much you enjoy it, and we’d love to have you! 🥰

Please share and help us spread the word.
