Another Weigh, the community-focused zero-waste shop in Kendal’s Wainwright’s Yard, is encouraging more locals to embrace sustainable shopping as part of their New Year’s resolutions.

The shop, which operates on a simple refill-and-reuse ethos, invites customers to bring their own containers, fill them with loose food and household products, and pay by weight — a model that reduces packaging and waste while making ethical shopping practical.

Membership at Another Weigh is optional but, for those who do become members, there’s a 10 % discount on food purchases throughout the year. And anyone who shops at Another Weigh, set up by a Cumbrian teenager Amy Bray, will be supporting her environmental charity, also called Another Way (but spelled differently).

To sign up for membership at Another Weigh (£30 annually — or £15 for students and concession holders who show a valid card in store) visit the shop’s website or call in. Members have the option of a printed credit card size or a card that can be saved to a mobile phone.

Anyone shopping at Another Weigh helps amplify the store’s positive environmental impact and deepen its connection to the local community and charity work.

“We love that customers are making shopping with us their New Year’s Resolution,” said Jodie from the Another Weigh team — a sentiment that reflects the shop’s role as a hub for conscious consumption and local engagement.

Whether visitors are stocking up on pantry staples or joining the membership scheme, Another Weigh continues to inspire people to shop sustainably and support a brighter environmental future.

Another Weigh is one of the independent and ethically driven businesses in Wainwright’s Yard, a welcoming retail and eating destination in the heart of Kendal that celebrates local enterprise and community spirit. Visit the retailers page on the Wainwright’s Yard website to find out more.
