New stretch target
We would like to make our doorway and store wheelchair accessible (and accessible overall) so that our store is available for all abilities.
We aim to fit the store with 20 gravity dispensers and scoop dispensers to make the shop more convenient for our customers.

We would like to make our doorway and store wheelchair accessible (and accessible overall) so that our store is available for all abilities.
About Us
We set up Earth Warriors (which was then Mutiny Zero Waste) in 2019 before the birth of our daughter. We had just moved into our first home and everything was really scary!
The community in Darlington supported us from day one and have continued to support us through the coronavirus pandemic.
In the beginning we weren't totally sure that Darlington was ready for a refill/health shop like ours, so we took out a very small business loan and did everything on a shoe string budget. This meant that the shop didn't look the way we had envisioned and was operating on the basics of what we needed to run.
Our Vision
We really wanted to fit gravity dispensers so that our customers could help themselves and do their shopping more efficiently, but sadly the cost was just too high! So we have been operating with a variety of over 50 jars and containers with our refill products in.
Having dispensers and shelving created for the refill products will allow us to expand our product range and be more efficient with the use of the space. It will totally transform our customers shopping experience!
We want eco-friendly shopping to be accessible to everyone. So we would like to use some of our crowdfund to make our doorway and store wheelchair accessible too.
