Two groups will be running Kington and District Community Shop throughout the remainder of December.

First to run and stock the shop will be Pentre Farm CIC which will be at the High Street venue until December 17.

They will be followed from December 18 to 23 by Kington-Marines Twinning Association,.

The shop will then be closed from Christmas Eve until December 31.

But residents are asked to save their donations as January 7 until 14 is the annual Community Shop Fundraising Week.

Contact Rita Langford with any offers of help for that week on 01544 230562.

Any group within a 10 mile radius of Kington which would like to be added to a list or organisations which will be offered any vacancies in the shop as they arise, should email kingtoncommunityshop@outlook.com.
