We are overjoyed to announce that ReFill Shop Bude has provided generous sponsorship in support of Cup Club Bude — a boost that will help us deepen our impact, and bring the reuse movement to more people across our town.
ReFill Shop Bude isn’t just any shop — it’s a zero-waste pioneer in Bude. Their guiding idea is simple: bring your own container, fill exactly the amount you need, and avoid the packaging waste that so often ends up in our bins.
They stock a wide range of goods — from pantry staples (rice, pasta, nuts, spices) and oils, to cleaning and body-care refills (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel), all made with natural ingredients, plus plastic-free bathroom & household items.
Because they’re a Community Interest Company (CIC), any surplus is reinvested into the community of Bude. That means their success directly supports Bude’s greener future. Their decision therefore, to support Cup Club Bude isn’t just financial — it’s aligned with their core mission. We’re proud to walk beside them.
What This Sponsorship Enables Us To Do
Thanks to this backing, here’s what we will focus on:
- Scale up our network — bring more cafés, event venues, and community hubs into Cup Club Bude
- Acquire more returnable cups — ensuring there are enough in circulation for respond to demand
- Raise awareness — outreach campaigns, networking, signage, and storytelling to get more people onboard
- Strengthen community ties — host joint events and initiatives with ReFill Shop to cross-promote reuse practices
In short: we go further, faster.
ReFill Shop’s ethos: “no extra packaging, no excess food, just exactly what you need” — mirrors the spirit of Cup Club Bude: reuse, reduce, rethink.
“We are proud to support The Circular Mindset CIC here in Bude, with their launch of Cup Club Bude.”
