🧵If only all Fridays' could be filled with sunshine & visits to 6 #communityowned businesses!! Great day out visiting groups in Herefordshire & Worcestershire with our Head of #ComBiz @CSpendley. A thread... with a few selfies included! 1/10
First stop was @PeopletonPantry where we met the shop manager, Jennie. Great to hear that as a @PlunkettFoundat member, Jennie was looking forward to completing their FREE #combiz health check with @AlisonMacklin2 in a few week's time! 2/10
Next up it was the amazing Yarpole Community Shop, which you'll find in Saint Leonard's Church. Such an inspiring example for any group looking to co-locate a #combiz in a place of worship... something @PlunkettFoundat can also offer FREE advice on thanks to @Benefacttrust. 3/10
