Company activities and impact

What Soul Happy is We are a values driven non profit, and we stock items that are aligned with the CIC ethical, eco and healthy values. By stocking zero waste, low plastic, local, seasonal, organic, plant-based, vegan, Fairtrade, handmade and non toxic products, we hope we have also benefitted the wider community and generations to come, and had a small positive impact on the planet as a whole. Volunteer and staff shop workers continue to offer informal, light-touch education about the ethical sourcing of stock items to the public. The community support the CIC in ways too, due to kind donations of things like empty jars, these jars are sterilised, placed in our large packaging barrel, and become a free packaging option for the customers when they buy from our zero waste area of dricd foods, herbs and apothecary goods enabling us to charge less for the overall product because we havenot had to pay for packaging. Other donations from the community include pre loved books, clothes, plants, and packaging we can repurpose, even donated kitchenware and crockery etc tot support s ouor staff kitchen. Our financial year has overall been slow but steady, despite having more fluctuations with volunteers this year which in turn effects our ability to open on our consistent days we have been consistently taking an income on ethical product sales between a GBP1000 GBP2000k per month for most months this year. To explain more of the overall annual reduction in sales: Since the local rise of some less ethical competition in the city increasing in popularity, sales on some of our best selling ethical products naturally continue to declined, so we have started to broaden on and experiment with other products. During this year the shop has provided an outlet for over 15 local artisans and small businesses. We welcomed several new suppliers over the year. We regularly receive feedback from our community on what the need their needs are and we adapt what we offer based on what we hear is wanted or needed. Our non-profit CIC status allows us to take only a small commission to cover costs, providing a truly fair price for the makers. Our dried food section has reduced by one forth duc to not selling the produce quickly enough before its sell by date, so we are qucstioning whether to continue to reduce the food section and focus more on non food items in this part of the shop. SoulHappy Shop has continued to offer accessible and ethical buying options to the local community, awareness on such products, as well as continue an affordable and inclusive events space and popular programme of wellbeing sessions and workshops. Supporting good mental wellbcing is still a priority for volunteers, room -hirers and the public in response to the mental health erisis following the pandemic. Room hire and events We have created many opportunitics for individuals, groups and community groups throughout the region to meet, discuss, create, cocreate and collaborate here. From wellbeing gatherings to creative events and workshops. From one of our team needing a safe and quiet space to study when their home life was difficult, to more formal Cacao Ceremonies and Womb Blessing wellbeing Ceremonies. Room hire has slightly increased again this year, but still not quite where we want it. We have been experimenting with more creative workshops this ycar. We have also scen the launch of Kundalini Yoga with a new teacher that has proven to be so successful that they now hold a group twice a month from once a month. We continue to provided a cosy safe space for breastfeeding mothers within the busy shopping centre, allowed free use of the workshop room for charities and community events, and have creating a welcoming and safe atmosphere for all with our diversity and inclusion ethos. Volunteers Our volunteers are what helps to keep the shop open and connecting to the local community. All volunteers are part time, sorome with different mental health and emotional needs, all volunteering on average 1 day per week apart from Pixie and Sophia who sometimes increase their days and make more of their products whilst volunteering A win win for them, We promote a good standard of work life balance and wellbeing standards and encourage staff to do less but more consistently, than do too much and burn out. Out of the total volunteers, we still have more young people than before wanting to volunteer, we realise that these young people have less sustinability wisdom and enthusiasm and are wanting to join more for work experience, or because volunteering here is seen to be cool. So we have to do a little more work around the induction and continued training to help them learn more about the ethical, eco, health, and spiritual sides to what we do, otherwise the eco values and a ability to educate consumers on our products will drop. Our volunteers have still fluctuated, and the turnover of many of our volunteers was still high, so as well as improving our induction process and staff mectings, we incrcased our team socials for them to try and build on the inner community. The shop has also provided support and development opportunities for volunteers. Retail responsibility, wellbeing education, support around healthy boundaries and effective and assertive communication. Many volunteers often share that they dont sce volunteering at the shop as work, they see is as their safc spacc, a wholcsome place of belonging for them where they know that at the same time they feel cmpowered and proud to be helping the community, the people and our part of the planet. With the engagement and connection we have had with the community, Soul Happy and the team continue to receive overwhelmingly positive engagement and support from the local community, we have had many comments, messages and also thank you cards from the community, from how our support or advice or time has helped on a difficult day, supported through difficult phase, to how its helped transform lives.
