We’ve officially launched a Crowdfunder to help support Cup Club Bude — Cornwall’s first ever returnable cup scheme, starting this October at Crooklets Beach Cafe.
👉 Support Cup Club Bude on Crowdfunder
Why we need your support
As a newly set-up CIC (Community Interest Company), every penny we raise goes straight back into the community. To make Cup Club Bude a success, we need funds to:
- Print posters, stickers and point-of-sale materials to spread the word.
- Run local marketing and engagement so residents and visitors know how the scheme works.
- Cover the costs of additional cup “top-ups” as demand grows.
- Build a dedicated website to keep the community updated and involved.
With your help, we can make sure the pilot launches strong and has the best chance of becoming a permanent solution for Bude — and a model for other Cornish towns.
How Cup Club works
It’s simple:
- Borrow your takeaway drink in a Cup Club cup for a £1 deposit.
- Enjoy it — at the beach, on the go, wherever.
- Return your cup, get your deposit back, or borrow another.
Less waste. Cleaner beaches. A more circular Cornwall. 🌍

Be part of Cornwall’s first returnable cup scheme
This is a community project through and through — and it only works if we all play our part. By supporting the crowdfunder, you’re helping Bude take a stand against single-use waste and proving that small coastal towns can lead the way in circular innovation.
Together, we can make a change that’s simple, visible, and lasting.
