Supporting our village and local community
Introducing our new coffee machine at Farmborough Community Shop!
Why not take advantage of the sun and enjoy a Flat White or Cappuccino (decaffeinated options available) today?
On Thursdays, we offer a Bertinet pastry with your speciality coffee for just £3.50.
We are currently experiencing high levels of demand for our ordering and delivery service for people self-isolating via phone, email, text and Facebook. As a result, we have implemented two things:
1) opening an hour later at 9am on weekdays to allow Chris, our manager, more time to prepare orders for delivery.
2) we are requesting that people email their delivery orders (for those self-isolating) the day before they are required to manager@farmboroughshop.co.uk
For those unable to email, please call 01761 471 811 between 1pm and 5pm.
Chris is currently managing the shop on his own or with minimal volunteer assistance to reduce the number of people in the shop. Please help us to help him keep the shop operational for as long as possible and assist those in need by: only visiting the shop when you need supplies; only buying the supplies that you need; and taking note of the number of people in the shop and responding to any request to wait outside if asked to do so.
If you have a general question, please don’t call, but email manager@farmboroughshop.co.uk
We would like to thank all our customers for their continued support during this difficult time.
***UPDATE***
Our phone line is now fully operational. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for using our alternative means of communication to get in touch.
******
Our phone line may be temporarily unavailable on Tuesday 2 June between 10am and 4pm. If you need to contact us and don’t seem to be getting a response by phone, please send a message to our Facebook page or contact us via email.
Normal service will be resumed from Wednesday.
The shop has a significant electricity bill each month. The Farmborough Community Shop Management Committee wants to minimise this cost by:
The investment needed is £6,000, saving over £1,000 per year. The deadline for having the solar panels fitted is rapidly approaching (31st March), after which we wouldn’t get the better Feed in Tariff (FIT) electricity rates that would maximise the saving. So please consider donating towards this vital investment in the shop’s future. The donations can be a lump sum or a regular monthly contribution (minimum £10) for 10 months.
Please pledge a donation, so that we can start this work as soon as possible and meet the FIT deadline. To pledge, please fill in the online donation form. We will then contact you to arrange payment.
Thank you for your support.
