In the charity's own words
We raise funds for village projects which will regenerate the local community. Our first project has been to help in the launch of a community shop and internet cafe. The shop provides employment to c 60 volunteeer staff and to two paid staff. It fills a necessary social function by bringing the village together, providing a source of groceries and a meeting place. Village cohesion is enhanced
