The shop in Splott aims to make good food affordable to everyone
A HUNDRED neighbours from Splott, Adamsdown and Tremorfa have celebrated the relaunch of a community-run food shop.
Splo-Down Food Co-operative had double its regular turnout for the official opening of its new zero waste shop, housed in a shipping container.
Before moving into the container, Splo-Down ran a weekly pop-up shop outside the Oasis refugee centre on Splott Road.
“It’s always been the idea to have a more permanent space that we can set roots down in and grow into different directions,” said member Eve Arnell.
Last summer the group won a £10,000 grant which it used to buy the shipping container. The container was then renovated by Splo-Down members and the group moved in at the end of January.
