Our Projects
-
S-Mart - The social supermarketS-Mart is Angus’s first Social Supermarket. Our vision is to tackle food insecurity and reduce food waste in our local communities.
We can achieve this by using surplus, over ordered and “no longer stocked” food from big chain supermarkets and local food suppliers.
-
The Little Green CaféThe Little Green Café offers a warm and welcoming cafe dining experience where you can enjoy deliciously homemade food at affordable prices.
We are committed to tackling food waste by using surplus goods form our sister shop, S-Mart, the Social Supermarket in some of our dishes such as specials and soups. This enables us to reduce food waste even more.
-
BRAND - Climate Conscious ClothingSelling mostly online via Vinted but with a few items in the cafe, BRAND is a Climate Conscious Clothing Store.
We take in good quality second hand and brand-new clothes to repurpose and sell on to the general public helping to feed into the circular economy to help fight against the impact of fast fashion on the environment.
-
Forfar Community HubPart of our Forfar branch, the Community Hub offers a space that can be hired for a reasonable cost by local groups looking for a space to meet or run workshops, etc.

www.facebook.com/105875907584225/posts/765830984922044/One of the most common comments people have said when it comes to shopping at S-Mart is,
"I wouldn't want to take anything away from someone who might really need it"
The simple answer is, you're not, in fact, we NEED everyone to shop at S-Mart because by doing so, you are actually helping.
Whether you come in and buy a jar of jam or a sirloin steak, every penny goes back into our community projects and helps keep our prices low and affordable for everyone.
So come in, have a chat to find out more and sign up to help the fight against Food Insecurity and Food Waste.
