The Green Gram

The Green Gram Community Refill Shop Limited (“The Green Gram”) is a refill shop where you can buy food, household items and personal care products without the need for single-use plastic.

You can help us by voluntering or simply by shopping with us!

We're always looking for more volunteers to join us. Shifts in the shop are just over 3 hours along and you'll always be worknig with another volunteer. You can work once a week or once a month- whatever suits you!

As a member, you will become a part owner in the business and have a say in the shop and its future. It’s known as a social dividend. It’s important to note that the value of your shares will not increase and that no interest is paid.

*** Share offer now closed but you can still donate! ***

The share offer opened on 10th March 2022 and closed on 8th May 2022. A further offer period may occur in the future at the discretion of the Steering Committee.

The Green Gram is located at Roman Quay, just off the High Street in Fordingbridge.

The Green Gram is a Community Benefit Society and this means that it is owned by its shareholders, known as members, for the benefit of the community.

Each share is £10.00 with a minimum purchase of one share. The more shares you buy the sooner we will be able to reach our target and be able to open the shop. There is a purchase limit of £1,250 or 125 shares per member.

In time the profits from The Green Gram will be ploughed back into local environmental and social projects, as decided by the members through voting.
