It Takes a Village

Aim

Help protect the future of Village Greens and the heart and soul of Prestwich Village

Help us through a rocky patch

We're living in tough times for small businesses, and Village Greens faces additional challenges as a result of moving buildings and the redevelopment of the Longfield Centre in Prestwich which has had a significant impact on footfall. We need everyone's help to get us through a difficult period, and without it the future of our beloved store and community space hangs in the balance. Please shop with us, visit the cafe, and consider donating to our crowdfunder. It took a village to build this place, and it will take a village to protect its future. 

All the funds we raise will be used to ensure that the shop can stay open and build a stronger foundation for the future including making sure the community space is used for the kind of events and activities that you want to see, and that the shop stocks the ethical and organic products you want to buy.
