Supporting Green Spaces
There is often an oversupply of coffee shops and a lack of vital resources to support green spaces and community well-being through quality outdoor spaces. Using business as a force for good can help shift resources from commerce to supporting projects in the park to provide free amenities in nature.
By reinvesting in green spaces and offering services in the park we have been able to increase footfall to the park and encourage healthy living and engagement with nature.
Here are some of the ways we support our local green spaces
Community Gardening
Bicycle Parts + Services
We have a professional bike stand, bike pumps and a wide range of tools available for free usage.
In addition, we have a small selection of inner tubes and repair kits, proving particularly vital support to bicycle couriers who are often caught out of hours.
Dog Hospitality
We have fresh water for dogs - a hook for owners to hang a lead from to take a break - a generally accessible and dog-friendly environment as well as speciality handmade dog treats.
Woooof!
We love having animal visitors to our shop in the Meadows, Edinburgh … and they love it too!
Litter Picking
Keeping it clean!
No one wants a park covered in litter.
First Aid Station
Kits and Support
We have a first aid kit! If you run into trouble in the park - come and find us.
