our ethos

We are a community of people from various walks of life who try our best to bring love and justice in the workplace and embody those ideals by caring for each other, caring about the planet and caring about the work we do.

We aim to:

Be Fair

Value people equally by being a workers’ co-operative with a flat, democratic management structure.

Take a clear stand against prejudices and discrimination.

Be involved in the correction of injustices through the ethical sourcing of our goods, the promotion of fairly traded products and the creation of stable, meaningful jobs.

Benefit our local and wider community by donating a substantial amount of our profit to charities.

Be Caring

Nurture fellowship by showing concern for each other in a supportive environment and having a daily time of reflection and sharing.

Provide work opportunities for people who experience mental health problems or some kind of disability in order for them to gain work experience and to build confidence.

Support co-operatives and social firms through cordial trading relationships, encourage like-minded local producers, and reach out to kindred spirits.

Promote healthy eating through a considered and responsible product range and by giving advice and product information to the best of our knowledge.

Be Sustainable

Cherish our environment by recycling, supporting responsible and sustainable agricultural practices and sourcing locally wherever possible.

Be a 100% vegetarian shop that also strongly supports our vegan community, with a strict non GMO, non-tested on animals policy.

Abide by a fair pricing policy, which reflects our respect of the customer as well as financially supporting the staff.
