Business can be a force
for good. We're a social
enterprise, which means we
put purpose before profit.
We stock the most eco +
ethical products we can find.
And while we're mostly
organic - it's better for the
bugs + soil - we try hard to
be affordable, too (think
mid-priced supermarket).
Why? Gather isn't here to
make a quick buck. We want
to make a difference.
As far as possible, we buy
from other little UK brands
also trying to do business
better. (We love it when
we're on first-name terms.)
With no bulghur growing on
Bellenden or rice paddies
on the Rye, sometimes we
have to look further afield for
sure. That's just reality; and
we're still super choosy.
If you think we've missed a
more local choice, tell us
and we'll check it out.
Our passion for our purpose
doesn't stop at our products.
Lots of our store furniture
is repurposed seconds.
All the wood used at our
first store, Gather, was
scrap, headed for the tip.
Our electronics are proudly
pre-loved, too.
We bank ethically. Our
energy's 100% renewable.
Our only rubbish is a full
vacuum bag every couple of
months. And we never waste
food that's good to eat.
We don’t push perfection.
Yep, natural is better for the
planet - but 'zero waste' doesn't exist! Give yourself a break.
So, we offer better choices -
from wipes to wine - knowing
every switch adds up.
No-one's 'perfect'. Even us:
the stores aren't vegan. A
handful of our products contain
(whisper it) plastic. And we
definitely don't live only on
refills (our packaged pantry
range has some real gems).
