Management and Membership

The Kingsbury Community Shop and Café is owned by The Kingsbury Community Enterprise Ltd (KCEL), a registered society which operates solely for the benefit of the community.

KCEL’s management committee is elected by the members (see below) and are responsible for all major decisions. The committee  holds a working meeting once a month – usually on the second or third Tuesday. 

We are actively seeking enthusiastic new managment committee members. We would love to find more people interested in community, fundraising, food, volunteering, marketing or retail. There are lots of ways to get involved, both front of house and behind the scenes. To find out more about how you can help, please contact Joanna Hancock at kcelchair@gmail.com.

Committee members are:

Joanna Hancock (Chair), Angi White (Treasurer),  Philip Parratt (Secretary), Heather Pearce, Sarah Blaze, Carrie Hartley.

Membership of KCEL is open to all and costs just £5.  We encourage residents of Kingsbury Episcopi and surrounding villages to have a say in the direction of this very successful community asset by becoming a member. See enrolment form below.
