Join our Team of Volunteers

Are you new to the village and want to get to know people? Are you aged 18+ and looking for voluntary work for your CV? Have you a bit of time on your hands because your children are in nursery or you’ve retired?

Why not join our team of helpers? We’re a friendly bunch, no previous experience is required and our till does NOT bite – in fact it’s very easy to use!

You can either do occasional slots to cover for people who are ill or on holiday, or you can do a regular weekly or even fortnightly slot. New helpers are given training and always work with an experienced person.

It’s a great way to get to know people and what is going on in the village. If you would like to help, just call in at the shop or e-mail .

Bring and Buy Books

Next time you're ready to donate your unwanted books, please bring them in to Cromhall Shop for others to enjoy.

While you're there, and pick up something new to read - it's £1 for a hardback, and 50p for a paperback.

Any books that remain unsold will be taken to the Lions Bookshop in Thornbury.

Services at the Post Office

Our Post Office is run by Postmaster Philip Coward, pictured right.

The Post Office offers PAYPAL, which caters for most electric key top-ups, all mobile E top-up vouchers and mobile phone cards. This service will eventually be extended to include more products.

You can buy One4all gift vouchers, which make ideal presents. The One4all vouchers can be spent in thousands of UK shops and services, with new locations added every day - pick up a leaflet at the Post Office.

The Government has also awarded a contract to the Post Office to run a card account for people to receive benefit, state pensions and tax credit payments.

Did you know you have a "hole in the wall" in the village? You can access cash at the post office if you have accounts at: RBS, Halifax, Lloyds, Barclays, Santander, Nat West and Co-op.

If you are thinking of taking a holiday, the Post Office Holiday Insurance scheme gives excellent cover at competitive rates.

Remember you can pay your Council Tax through the Post Office.
