SVP eco shop

What we stock, and why

Our eco shop opened in May 2010 to help provide unrestricted income for our charity. Our shop sells a wide range of new eco products, including those that help around the house and garden, as well as gifts. 

We like to stock environmentally friendly versions of things customers buy regularly, so please let us know of anything that we do not currently have which you would like us to stock. We can then look into whether we can!


In addition, we provide advice and support to the local community on volunteering with us, sustainable development, wildlife gardening and other environmental issues.

Got a question about what we stock? You can phone 01453 753358 or email ecoshop@stroudvalleysproject.org
