Go to the Ilmington Shop website www.ilmingtonshop.co.uk/ten-years. You’ll find a slideshow, with commentary, that takes you from the founders’ vision to the reality, through the pandemic, to the amazing community business we have today. Here is our story in pictures, as presented at our recent AGM. If you’ve ever wondered how a village cooperative starts out, how it endures for a decade and more, all the drama is here! We couldn’t have done it without our supporters and members, our volunteers and loyal customers. Also a shout-out to the Plunkett Foundation, who have supported us at every step. Words by committee members Astrid Matts and Debbie Sarjant, and thanks to Richard Sharratt for creating the slideshow
