Why would I become a Member?

Membership is for anyone in our community who feels that being part of True Food can help make a tangible difference to the environmental issues we currently face.

It’s also a great way to be more connected with what’s going on at True Food. You’ll be the first to know about new products and events and there’s a monthly member discount on specific products.

If you volunteer with True Food, you will receive monthly discounts on your shopping of 5%, 10% or 15% depending on how many hours you can offer each month. This work includes shop based tasks such as till work, restocking and cleaning, as well as work behind the scenes on marketing, helping at community events and maintenance.

Your support could simply be shopping with us and being a True Food ambassador by following us on social media, putting up posters and leaflets in your community and generally raising awareness with people you know. Anything you do for your co-op is rewarded, and is rewarding for you.

Membership costs £5 and is open to anyone aged 16 and over.

You can apply using a paper form in store, or simply complete the electronic form below and make the payment and we will be in touch!

What do I need to do as a member?

Simply shopping with us supports our business and we welcome people who can only commit to this.

You can also help us by being a True Food ambassador by following us on social media, putting up posters and leaflets in your community and generally raising awareness with people you know.

If you have more time, there are shop-based tasks such as till work, restocking and cleaning that are needed on a rota each week.

And if you have more time but want to support us away from the shop, there is also behind the scenes support such as marketing, helping at community events and maintenance.

As a co-operative we are fully democratic with every member entitled to speak and vote at meetings. We hold an Annual General Meeting at which the accounts are presented and the committee is elected, and regular members meetings to discuss specific topics and to enable you to be involved in the decision making of your co-operative.

How do I join?

Complete the form below and pay the £5 membership fee. We also invite you to make a voluntary donation towards our business if you’d like to. If you prefer can pick up a paper form in the shop or download one here. Full details of membership are available here.

We collect minimal data from you to meet the requirements of our Co-operative Constitution and to be able to be in touch with you about our business and membership activities. You can read our Member Privacy Notice here.

What happens after I join?

We’ll issue you with a Membership discount card and then contact you with details to be able to access the Member Area of our website and our shop rota/member communication system: www.3r.org.uk/

You’ll start to receive regular updates from us, including invitations to member events and details of the monthly discount products. You can also get as involved as you want to.
