Founded in 1976, Single Step is a non-profit making workers' co-operative. We're all equally
responsible for running the shop and we all receive the same pay. All the decisions we make are
by consensus.
Single Step tries to follow ethical and environmental principles in the way it runs:
- All products are vegetarian and most are vegan
- None of our products are tested on animals
- We try to keep our prices as low as possible
- We stock many fairtrade products
- We sell environmentally friendly products
- We recycle and re-use as much as possible
- We provide a 10% discount for senior citizens
- We sell a wide range of organic products and try to keep our shop GM-free
- Healthy eating is important to us. We focus on wholefoods and avoid unnecessary additives
- We buy local produce and purchase many products in bulk, reducing costs and packaging
- None of our fresh fruit or veg is air freighted
- We sell tampons & sanitary towels at cost price and condoms at a discounted rate
It's important to us that the shop is open to everyone. If you need help or have any suggestions, please let us know and we'll do our best. Here is a map to show where we are
If you do come to see us, don't forget to visit the Whale Tail vegetarian cafe upstairs.
