The shop is managed by a committee made up of local volunteers. They ensure all the legal and financial duties are met, employ staff, gather feedback from locals, make changes to the shop, and promote links with other local enterprises. On a day-to-day basis the shop is managed by Adele James and Kate Hardinge as well as a team of volunteers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fec952d2d8727feb7b92f/1613841131965-FI312F1XB26NQGDSHLMT/meat.jpg About Us - Why is this good for the village? A local community shop can play a huge role in improving peoples’ well-being and mental health. Those who are vulnerable, elderly, isolated, a new parent, or unemployed are perhaps more likely to be able to access a local shop. A shop can offer the opportunity for regular exercise or regularly getting out of the house, meeting up with others or simply having social contact with those volunteering in the shop. It is much more than a place to buy provisions. Local Community shops can also help support other local businesses (by stocking their produce or through joint ventures) and help reduce our carbon footprint: stocking local produce means fewer food miles. Customers who can access the shop without a car and, those who need to drive having a shorter journey all goes towards reducing emissions. https://www.stbriavelspantry.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fec952d2d8727feb7b92f/1613831728647-OMBV4Z2MQMKV3Q9KMB0O/logo.png Home https://www.stbriavelspantry.co.uk/volunteer daily 0.75 2026-03-01 https://www.stbriavelspantry.co.uk/membership daily 0.75 2026-03-09
