Hello,
When I move to England, I would really like to integrate into village life around Timsbury, even though I am French. I don’t want to just be a visitor passing through, but to become part of the community.
I love the idea of a village coming together to keep its local shops running, and people volunteering their time to make something useful for everyone. I would like to do my shopping in this kind of shop because I think it’s important to support local people and village life.
Once a week for three weeks, I would do some shopping to donate to a food bank to help people in need. The closest drop-off point I found is about 6 kilometres from Timsbury. I wouldn’t be able to give a lot because I will be cycling and only have a backpack to carry the food.
I simply want my trip to be useful in some way. My partner says it might be seen as badly, but for me it’s a way of taking part, helping, and feeling useful in the village. Do I really have the right to do this, or could it be seen negatively?
Thank you
