Bradfield Southend Village Stores is a community shop and post office. Set up in 2005, it started life in a portakabin located on Bradfield Village Hall Car Park, but in September 2009 moved into a new purpose designed building next door. The Village Hall Car Park is still used for parking. It is run as a not–for profit enterprise under Industrial and Provident Society rules. It is controlled by a voluntary Management Committee and manned by a combination of paid and voluntary staff. It sells all the day to day necessities that you would expect in a convenience store.
This project is supported under the England Rural Development Programme by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund. It is also supported by the Englefield Charitable Trust.
