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).
