Village shops are so much more than simply a place to buy things. They are a place of social interaction where villagers of all ages and background meet. The village shop is of critical importance to those who do not have access to private transport, the young, the old and (during the daytime) the one car household.

Help and support for village shops is available from VIRSA.
