Who we are

Ethical Food Collective Taunton (EFCT) will be a Community Benefit Society (registration in progress) and will operate with a mixture of paid employees in the Lesser Litter shop, supported by a small number of committed volunteers. Governance will be by a Board of Directors (all Taunton based):

  • Karuna Tharmananthar

  • Jon Shepherd

  • Clare Pineda-Langford

  • Mel Bradley

Why we exist

The purpose of EFCT is to continue the vision of the original owners of Lesser Litter - Pete & Kate - which was to give the people of Taunton a positive option for shopping ethically, organically and package free.

The Society wishes to build on this and has an overall mission that is wider, embracing community health & wellbeing, environmental benefits and promoting social justice.
