A little look back through the archives, we can’t believe it is 5 years ago this week, since we reopened Prettygate Post Office within our charity shop 🐈‍⬛🐈🐾
Turning an empty retail unit into a busy charity shop and Post Office took a great deal of work - in 2021 just as the country was coming out of the second major Covid lockdown. As a community organisation ourselves, the charity wanted to reopen the Post Office branch to help the local community, with support from Sue, our local Councillor. Five years later on, our role has become even more challenging with the closure of Shrub End Post Office this spring, which has lead to a great increase in demand for our Post Office 📮💌 Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the last 5 years xx 🫶
