Village Shops and Post Offices

ORCC has a long track record of supporting and championing village shops and post offices. We recognise how valuable it is for local people to be able to purchase supplies and access banking and postal services without having to travel outside the village, particularly those who rely on local facilities for their everyday supplies. The shop and post office are also important social hubs in a village – a place to share information and meet with friends and neighbours. ORCC’s Village Shops Development Worker and Village Shops Fieldworker provide information, support and advice to village shopkeepers and community owned shops to help maintain the network of shops and post offices in rural Oxfordshire.
