Caron Press - Miles Cross Post Office
Caron and her three colleagues have a collective 100+ years of experience running a post office and go above and beyond for people. The Miles Cross Post Office provides essential services to one of England’s most deprived urban areas, where people will pay their rent and council tax weekly.
Abdul Majid MBE - Bellshill Post Office
Abdul is the Postmaster of the Bellshill Post Office in Scotland. His post office provides a warm hub and hot food counter for vulnerable people, families, and the elderly to socialise, receive advice, and feel like they belong to a community.
Access to cash
Cash remains essential for millions of people and businesses across the UK. Whether it’s paying for everyday items or managing business takings, cash is still a vital part of daily life.

A family business
Post Offices are often a family business – run by the community, for the community.
The heart of the village
Menheniot Post Office and SPAR store really are at the heart of the village. Yes, a place to buy groceries and use Post Office services, but also an important meeting point for village life.
Providing services where they're needed
In partnership with her husband Kevin, Postmaster Tina May delivers outreach services across six Wiltshire communities at set times each week.
A Community service
When Uley’s shop and Post Office faced closure, the villagers forged a plan to keep it running.
