...for the village, not for profit...
This is the website for the Almondsbury Community Services Association (ACSA). The purpose of this website is to inform the people of Almondsbury about the reasons for, and development of, a community shop.
What is ACSA
ACSA is the Almondsbury Community Services Association Ltd, an organisation registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965 - 2002. The organisation is owned by ordinary local people, and the objective of the Association is to encourage services and amenities for the village - specifically a shop. Membership is open to anyone on the purchase of a single £2 share, but as no one can own more than one share no one can gain overall control.
The full rules of the Association are available here (To read this document you need Acrobat Reader or similar. Most computers have that installed, but if not you can download it free of charge here) and if you would like to become a shareholder please dowload the application form here.
