✨ One-of-a-kind treasures… and lots more!

Every shelf has something different to discover, and when you support one of our local makers, you’re helping local talent to be seen, supported and celebrated.** 💜

🛍️ Pop in, have a browse and discover Crafters Corner for yourself!

And if YOU make, create, craft or design locally and would love the opportunity to showcase and sell your work from our Community Shop, please get in touch with us about renting a shelf space. We’d love to hear from you! 🥰

🏡 ANOTHER NEW SERVICE FOR OUR COMMUNITY HUB! 💙

We are incredibly proud to share some more exciting news from Community Connections Millom CIC

We are now an Affiliate Partner of Acorn Stairlifts!🎉

This is another important service that we can now offer through our Community Hub, helping local people and families access trusted advice and practical solutions that can make a real difference to everyday life.

For many people, being able to remain safe, comfortable and independent in their own home is incredibly important. If stairs are becoming difficult, knowing who to speak to and where to start can sometimes feel daunting.

That’s where we can help. 💙

Through our new partnership, you can contact us at Community Connections Millom CIC and we can refer you directly to Acorn Stairlifts, where their experienced team can provide professional advice and help you explore the options best suited to you, your home and your individual needs.

🤔 Why are we so pleased about this?

Because our Community Hub is about much more than simply signposting people.

It’s about bringing people, support and opportunities together.

It’s about listening to what our community needs, building relationships with trusted organisations and making it easier for local people to access the right support.

Every new service and partnership we develop means there is another way we may be able to help someone who walks through our door. ❤️

We are extremely proud to welcome Acorn Stairlifts as another partner working alongside us for the benefit of our community.

📞 If you or somebody you know is considering a stairlift, speak to us first and we can help connect you with the Acorn team.

Pop into the Community Hub, message our page or contact us to find out more.

Another connection. Another service. Another way our Community Hub can help. 💙

📰 **We’re in the local paper!** 💙

It’s lovely to see our plans for a **new community space in Millom** featured by The Mail.

This project is all about creating something positive and useful for our community — a welcoming space where people can connect, access support and advice, and where local groups and organisations can come together.

But to turn that vision into reality, **we need the community behind us.**

Every donation, offer of help and share of our story really does make a difference. Whether you can contribute financially, donate something we need, or simply share this post and help us spread the word — it all helps us move another step closer. 🙌

A huge **thank you** to everyone who has supported us so far, and to The Mail for helping us tell our story.

Please have a read, share it far and wide, and help us create something special for Millom and the surrounding community. 💙

✨ Supporting Local Talent – Right Here in Our Community Shop! ✨

We're absolutely delighted to be able to provide a space for local craftsman LazerLizardengraving to showcase his incredible handcrafted creations.

Every piece is individually handmade with love, using locally sourced hardwoods, with an exceptional level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. From beautiful wooden candle holders and decorative pieces to laser engraving on wood, canvas, ceramic tiles, brass plates and much more, the quality really does speak for itself.

Supporting local people and creating opportunities within our community is at the very heart of everything we do. It's just one of the many things that makes our little community shop that bit different. ❤️

If you're looking for a unique gift or simply appreciate beautiful handmade craftsmanship, pop in and have a look at the range we have on display.

You can also check out LazerLizardengraving on Facebook to see his full collection, and if you like what you see, we'd love it if you could give his page a follow. Every like, share of his page and follow helps support a talented local maker. 🪵✨
He does also accept some small amounts of commission work, so if you have an idea for a perfect gift for someone special, maybe give him a shout.
