One off

Climate charity Another Way is close to launching Another Weigh Falmouth - a community-run, zero-waste shop that will enable people to shop ethically, affordably and with minimal waste, while connecting residents to climate action and positive community change. 

The Falmouth shop, at 1 Berkely Vale, will provide a wide range of refill and zero-waste essentials, including food refills, liquid and cleaning refills, zero-waste and ethical products such as toiletries, make-up and skincare products, reusable nappies, toilet roll and kitchen paper, reusable coffee cups and bottles, gifts and local ethical products. It will support local producers by offering fresh vegetables and herbs from community gardens, alongside ethical artwork, reusable products, books and clothing. 

The space is large enough not only to host the refill shop – but also allow the charity to create a vibrant community hub focused on sustainability, wellbeing and connection, hosting community events such as:  

• Pop-up swap shops for clothes and books. 

• Repair cafés, supporting reuse and skill-sharing. 

• A hot drinks station 

• A co-working zone. 

• Evening talks, workshops and climate events. 

• Space hire for community groups and clubs. 

This hub will provide low-cost activities, volunteering, connection and climate education — supporting community wellbeing alongside environmental action. 

What's involved?

Before Another Weigh Falmouth can open, however, the shopfront needs a good clean and that's where volunteers come in.

Anyone with some time to spare from 9am on Saturday, October 3, is invited to join some like-minded people to set to work giving the shop front a spring clean. Buckets and sponges will be provided.

Why get involved?

Help prepare this new charity venture for its grand opening. 

The profits from the shop will go into the Another Way charity – supporting young people to take climate and nature action.

Once up and running, every purchase will help fund Another Way’s mission to empower people to live with kindness towards our planet.

Amy Bray founded Another Way in 2019 when she was just 16. Since then, it has grown into a nationwide, youth-led environmental education charity dedicated to empowering individuals to live compassionately towards our planet.

How to get involved?

Turn up on Saturday from 9am. For further information you can email falmouthshop@another-way.org.uk
