The Shop, as a Community Benefit Society (CBS) is founded and run expressly to support the needs of the community. A CBS can invite people to become a member by the purchase of shares which means they have a say in the running of the Society on a one-member-one-vote basis at General Meetings. Any profit made by a Community Benefit Society must be used for the benefit of the community and as such, any profits made by the Shop are ploughed back into the Shop or will be used in the future to support projects in the community.
We welcome anyone that would like to become a shareholder. An application form can be downloaded below for completion and return as per the instructions.
