Village Hall Outreach Service

Child Okeford Stores, The Cross, Child Okeford, Blandford Forum, Dorset, DT11 8ED, runs The Post Office Outreach Service in the Stourpaine Village Hall every Tuesday morning.

The Post Office pays for this service to us and The Post Office is doing an audit for the next 3 months about usage in outreach places.

Stourpaine is in danger of losing this post office facility unless we use and promote it more.

Please can everyone do their bit and try and buy some stamps, post a parcel (Parcelforce Express Services), use Drop & Go rather than get the Postie to come to you (a great convenience), withdraw some money, open an account, etc as much as possible ( especially whilst the audit is happening).

At the same time the Village Hall Committee invites you to the “Warm Hub” between ten and twelve where tea, coffee, biscuits and a chat are always brewing.

Beats cycling or walking to Blandford Forum or beyond.

Child Okeford Outreach Post Office for Stourpaine

An acknowledgement of the Stourpaine Parish Council’s Chair for working so hard to retain a postal service in Stourpaine.

Thanks also to Child Okeford store and Royal Mail for continuing the outreach service.

It is now in our interests to support the service to ensure its retention.
