CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

So many of you have told us how greatly you value our Community Shop and Post Office and how it was a real lifeline during lockdown periods.

It is only possible to sustain it because the Shop side of the business is entirely staffed by volunteers. However, we are struggling to cover our opening hours currently. Our volunteers are wonderful and committed but there are far fewer of them than when we first opened.

If we are to maintain the service that we all so greatly value, we need more help. Without it, we run a real risk of having to close the Shop at certain times. Please consider whether you could spare a couple of hours a week. It’s interesting, fun and a great way to support our villages. Whilst every hour helps, you would not be expected to commit in a rigid way. We know lives are flexible and so are we.

So if you feel you could support the shop and ensure its future please contact clairemorrell1@gmail.com.

Increased range of Fruit & Veg

We've invested in a brand new, purpose-built, outdoor display unit for our Fruit & Veg, which means we can stock a greater range of varieties, and more of each variety! We'll be restocking throughout the week, but if you want to be sure of getting your favourites then why not place a weekly order with us? We'll even deliver it to your door for free (within 5miles radius). Just call 07789 828423 for more details.

Focus on Local - Joseph Morris Butchers

The business was established between the two world wars by Joseph Morris, the present proprietor’s father, in 1930 and is now in its third generation.

Animal welfare is a priority for Joseph Morris. All livestock is sourced from local farms, a practice that not only supports the local farming community but also ensures uniformity of quality. Travelling distances being short, stress for the animals is minimised.

Awareness of customer requirements sees Joseph Morris continually upgrading the service that they provide. Most recently they have opened a kitchen where they make their own pork pies, sausage rolls, patés & haslet. These new lines complement their established range of home-cooked hams, roast pork.

Focus on Local - Punjaban Curry Sauces

Punjaban is a family-run business based in Moulton Park, Northampton. Owner Charanjit Sapal (known as Charlie) is extremely passionate about getting the sauces right; she bases them on the traditional recipes she uses at home, and the sauces are free from all artificial ingredients and are gluten free.

Creaton Village Shop is run by Creaton Community Benefit Society Limited, keeping the shop and Post Office in the heart of the community.

Creaton Community Benefit Society is pleased to be supported by the National Lottery, by the LEADER Programme for North & West Northamptonshire, the Prince's Countryside Fund and by the Northamptonshire Community Foundation.
