Feckenham Awarded National Title of Best Village Shop

Congratulations to everybody at Feckenham Village Shop who went on to win the National title of Best Shop / Post Office in the Countryside Alliance Awards 2009. Announced at a ceremony at the House of Lords, representatives of the The Village Shop were delighted to accept the award on behalf of their community and for everybody involved with the shop.

Jenny Mason, a volunteer in the winning shop said: "We were so happy and surprised about winning the award and we owe much of our success to Plunkett's support, which enabled us to build our business and have the confidence to stick to our original aims of supplying the village with convenient shopping and at the same time creating a social enterprise which would bring the heart back to the community."

Feckenham were amongst three community-owned shops to be awarded regional titles, all of which were supported by the Village Core programme.

The award nicely coincided with Feckenham's first birthday so they have had plenty to celebrate! Click here to view the full press release.
