… , here at Ilmington Community Shop and Café, we are making sure that our customers feel safe and secure. We now allow up to four customers into the shop, but masks must be worn. We follow lots of protocols in the café, too, including Track and Trace registration. Meanwhile, behind the scenes and after hours, our Covid cleaning teams are still in place. Meet Gill and Graham Peasant, who moved into Ilmington a year ago and found a new vocation with their weekly Covid cleaning shift. “We always wanted to do cleaning,” quips Graham. He pauses. “Not just cleaning, but specialised cleaning!” Graham’s the joker in the pack. Wife Gill puts it another way: “We think the shop and café are a great thing for the community. When we were looking around at houses, we stopped off in the café and that really decided us. We wanted to live here and we wanted to do our bit for the community.” Thank you Graham and Gill 
And thanks to all our volunteers working hard to keep us safe in these Covid times. It’s Volunteers Week and we love you all
