Ashburton Post Office Crowdfunder

Help us make Ashburton Post Office a community resource for the future.

Ten years ago, we (Stuart & Jackie) took over Ashburton Post Office, armed with only a vision of creating and protecting services for our community, both now and for the future.

In 2015 we welcomed Ashburton Library into our space. And this sparked an idea of bringing more essential community resources that are under threat all into one place.

Since then our vision has grown and building work is underway to create a Combined Community Resource Hub - a Post Office, Library and a hub for banking and other services all under one roof. This is the first of its kind in the UK.

The Hub will be further enhanced by the Spoke – a mobile Post Office servicing our rural Dartmoor communities.

There will also be rooms providing safe and inclusive space for groups to meet, including quiet outdoor space for the community to use.

As part of the work, the Library will now be moving upstairs to the first floor and we are installing a lift to enable access for the whole community.

However, the funding that we were hoping for to help pay for the lift has fallen through and we now need to raise £30k for it.

We believe that Ashburton desperately needs these services so that our wonderful community can continue to thrive. And we need your help to do this.
