118 Clifton Street, Wednesday evenings 5pm to 7.30pm, bring your own containers to buy organic and eco friendly items at PAD (Peoples Autonomous Destination). This facility is run by volunteers for the benefit of the community, so don't expect shelves, tills etc!

There are other items available as well. I am not a member of the group, but I bought some things last week and thought that this was a brilliant idea.
Don't for get your jars, bags, boxes if you go, and if you can round up your bill to make a small donation it will help with the p&p etc for their next order and with other events which they want to run.

Here are a few details about the group:

    Have to admit, went along yesterday with jars etc at the ready and there was no one there - waited until 5.35pm but no show. Next week I might email [EMAIL="PAD@riseup.com"]PAD@riseup.com[/EMAIL] on the Tuesday to double check
  • Has anyone been to this yet? Is it up and running?
    Thanks.

    I went along last week for sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and porridge oats. The week before I bought 81% flour, soya beans, peanut butter, mixed dried fruit and sesame seeds. Someone is due to do another order this week so hopefully there will be more oil and other things next week.
