Our Aims

Our community co-operative is a social enterprise. We want to generate a financial surplus to fulfil our vision. However, our aims are not to generate profits but:

  • To provide sustainable small suppliers, particularly co-operatives, with a direct, supportive, retail (bricks and mortar, and internet) and wholesale partners; and thereby help disadvantaged communities.
  • To offer customers an increasing range of ethical products from a single convenient location that has been assessed in terms of their sustainability and offer good value.
  • To foster intelligent consumerism by encouraging interaction and debate over both impact assessments and improvement priorities.
  • To offer customers an increasing range of ethical products which are not readily available elsewhere, from a single convenient location.

As a co-operative owned and democratically controlled by our members, we are accountable to them for pursuing our vision in accordance with co-operative values and principles.
