Sylvania Community Stores and Cafe

We are providing a shop, cafe and social hub for 1000 homes on a detached estate on the northern fringes of Exetert
It will bring people together in a spirit of community friendship. People will walk to the shop for their daily exercise. The coffee and cakes will be first rate and we will draw upon local suppliers.

7 GoodGymers have supported Sylvania Community Stores and Cafe with 2 tasks.

The 3 of us weeded, pruned, dug and trimmed, to make the space suitable for vegetable growing.

A lick of paint and many more licks of ice creams

Written by Pete Hodges

Six GoodGymers climbed 'Mount Pennsylvania' on Wednesday to help get the new Sylvania Stores ready to open. We think this is a great project: it's a co operative initiative by local residents and will include a shop, cafe and lots of activities.

With paintbrushes in hand we spruced up tired walls and doors to get them looking good for the grand opening this weekend.

Founder and general legend Pete Stevenson provided us with biscuits, fruit, water (it was baking!) and even ice cream. Thank you for going above and beyond for your local community!
