HISTORY SO FAR

Our mission at PURIST is to produce and retail a range of natural soap and body products using sustainable ingredients,

locally sourced (where possible), employing local people therefore supporting the local economy.  PURIST is to trade as a

social enterprise generating a business surplus that is reinvested into the enterprise for the benefit of furthering this and

other related community projects.

The products we make are unique in the fact that they are all made by hand on site, using ingredients from companies

who source raw materials sustainably and ethically. In addition our products are not tested on animals and are suitable

for people with sensitive skin and also vegans as no animal by products are used in the production. We at PURIST believe

that our range of products are tailor made for today’s more environmentally aware consumers, as more and more people

are concerned about the impact their daily lives are having on the world around them.  This presents us with a strong marketing

opportunity as the consumer can enjoy our range of naturally luxurious products with a clean social conscience.

What makes us different?

The main difference between PURIST and its closest rivals is that the customers can not only watch the whole process of production

in the retail environment but can purchase products exactly the same as they have just seen made.  In addition we intend to run work

shops where groups such as schools, youth clubs, disability groups, and companies can come and learn a new skill and make and

take away there own bespoke product.

PURIST aims to provide placements for long term unemployed to support them back into employment through involving individuals

in the production of products outside of the outlet; building confidence, skills, progression into further Education, Employment or Training

What is Groundwork?

Groundwork is a leading environmental regeneration charity. From small community schemes to major regional and national

programmes, Groundwork’s national network of nearly 50 independent trusts works in partnership with local people, local authorities

and businesses to promote economic and social regeneration through improvements to their local environments.

Groundwork established its first Trust in the South West in 1991 working from Plymouth, and has recently changed its charitable

status to enable it to work across Devon & Cornwall.  Groundwork’s vision is a society made up of communities which are vibrant,

healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.

Central to Groundwork’s approach is in supporting individuals, voluntary and community groups to develop the skills needed to

increase their participation in community life and to improve their neighbourhoods.  Groundwork supports the development of

community-based networks and partnerships through a mentoring & facilitating approach to develop self confident communities

with a shared vision and sense of purpose.
