Tewin Village

Summer 2026 Update

Our AGM was held on the 23 June and the year end accounts are now available to view in the 'Annual Accounts' section.

Accounts

Trading remains challenging and, while we recorded an overall loss of £910, this represents a small improvement on the 2025 financial year. The outlook for 2026/27 is largely in the hands of Tewin residents. Given the current economic climate, we are unlikely to see a significant improvement unless we can increase customer footfall. Please encourage your friends, family and neighbours to use the shop whenever they can. Our prices are very competitive, and for those everyday essentials, it's often cheaper than driving to the supermarket.

Events

Over the past 12 months, we have introduced a number of initiatives to increase footfall and sales. 

• Our donated apples were once again turned into delicious apple juice, with every bottle selling out quickly. We hope to repeat this popular initiative again in September.
• We also attended the Tewin Classic Car Show and the Burnham Green Fete, selling Tewin Stores branded products. These events not only generated additional sales but also helped raise awareness of both the shop and café. We are looking forward to attending both events again in August 2026.
• In addition, we have carried out leaflet drops throughout Tewin and continued to advertise the shop wherever possible.
• Following last year's success, we will once again be offering our popular Christmas hampers in December. They sold out quickly last year, so be sure to place your order early.

Volunteering

A mention of course to the many people that provide their goods and services to the shop for free.  We have frequently been the recipients of some fine home grown fruit and veg as well as some beautiful cakes, none of which hang around – it is all bought very quickly. 

We are always looking for additional volunteers to join our fantastic team. Without the time, commitment and enthusiasm of our volunteers, the shop simply could not continue to operate. Even if volunteering isn't for you, please help spread the word. Volunteering at the shop is a great way to meet new people and become an even bigger part of our wonderful village community.

Finally as always, we wish to thank Bev, our Store Manager for her commitment in running our shop and organising our team of volunteers.
