Our history
Our history
Sarratt Village shop is at the heart of the Sarratt community. The previous owners were looking to sell the shop as a going concern.
As a community we ran a campaign to raise enough money to buy the shop from the existing owners, a local family, so that it can be run and developed over the long term for the benefit of the wider community.
The campaign to buy the shop started in mid February 2010 and we were successful in securing enough pledges of funds from over 85 families within the community to make a formal offer of purchase which was accepted.
After a lengthy period of due diligence and not without some drama along the way we succeeded!!!
This site was developed to support the campaign and has been updated to reflect the fact that we succeeded and took control of the business on a going concern basis on the 4th of July 2011.
The good news is Grainger and Jane two of the previous owners not only invested in the new business but have agreed to stay on and manage the Shop and Post Office respectfully. This is a huge benefit to retain their expertise and commitment and ensure continuity.
If you would like to get involved, either as an investor or as a volunteer please contact David Alexander on
