Sutton Coldfield’s Zero Packaging Shop

We are raising money towards setting up a Social Enterprise run Zero Packaging Shop in Sutton Coldfield. This will be voluntary run by locals. We hope to be accessible for all incomes. 

Our online market research told us that 900 locals (who use Facebook) would regularly use a zero packaging shop. It is something Sutton Coldfield needs in the town centre, as well as to stop unnecessary plastic from reaching the landfill. The nearest zero packaging shops are in Lichfield (3 projects) and in central Birmingham. 

I have done a lot of research into suppliers, best locations on where to rent a shop, other setting up costs. Unfortunately I do not have £5,000 in savings to set up, which is why I am starting this GoFundMe.
