New Galloway Community Shop

New Galloway’s Community Shop is open!
We opened for business as a community shop on 17 July 2017. Lynsey Hogg, our Retail General Manager, is pictured on our opening day. The shop, the last remaining store in new Galloway, was facing closure when saved by New Galloway Community Enterprises Ltd thanks to the support of the Big Lottery’s ‘Growing community assets’ fund.
Success!
It was announced on 22nd March, 2017, that New Galloway Community Enterprises Ltd had been awarded a grant of £800,000 by the Big Lottery ‘Growing community Assets Fund’ to allow us to complete our plans. The grant covered the purchase and renovation of Hopkins Shop in New Galloway, transitional support for the shop and the conversion of the house into two self-catering flats for holiday rental. It also supports the employment of a Community Engagement Worker to foster the social and economic wellbeing of the community. See the News page for more details.
New Galloway Community Enterprises Ltd (NGCE) is a Community Benefit company owned by more than 250 shareholders, two thirds of whom live in the New Galloway area. NGCE and set up to trade for the benefit of the community.
The Community Shop aims to provide good value, high quality food for New Galloway residents, with a strong emphasis on community support and local food.
The six-bedroom house above the shop will be converted into two self-catering apartments for letting to the tourist market. This will generate further income which can be invested back into New Galloway’s other charitable needs.
It is also planned to make the shop into a social well-being hub, to further support the community. From the back-office, a Community Engagement Worker will offer a sign-posting service to help people find the right help at times of life upheaval, host benefit-maximisation surgeries to ensure people are getting what they are entitled to, and administer fuel buying co-operatives to save people money on fuel bills.
The long term aim is for New Galloway to be a self-sustaining village with its own income and strong community support for all of its residents. The venture has support from all age groups in the community.
