1. Community First
We believe in the power of people coming together. One Stone Soup belongs to its members — we share responsibility, decisions, and rewards. Everyone is valued. Everyone contributes. Everyone belongs.
🥣 The One Stone Soup Manifesto
Together, We Make the Soup
One Stone Soup is built on a simple idea: when everyone brings what they can — a little time, knowledge, kindness, or creativity — together we can create something nourishing for all.
We are a community, not a corporation. We are people helping people — sharing ideas, resources, and hope to build a better, fairer, more sustainable world.
Our Core Principles
2. Kindness and Respect
We foster a space that is positive and supportive. No trolling, no shaming, no competition for status — just cooperation, encouragement, and care.
3. Transparency and Trust
We are open about how the platform is run, how funds are used, and how decisions are made. Members help shape our direction through open dialogue and shared governance.
4. Sustainability in Action
From the food we grow to the choices we make, we aim to live lightly on the Earth. Every action we take should move us closer to a net-zero, regenerative way of living.
5. Learning and Sharing
Knowledge grows when it’s shared. Whether it’s how to grow vegetables, plan meals, repair tools, or support wellbeing — we learn from each other and give back freely.
6. Mutual Benefit
Members earn pebbles for the good they do — for creating helpful content, supporting others, or building the community. The more we give, the richer our shared soup becomes.
Our Commitments
- We will create a safe, welcoming space for all people, regardless of background, belief, or ability.
- We will base our work on sound evidence and science, balancing knowledge with compassion.
- We will support real-world action — from sustainable living to community events — that helps people thrive.
- We will keep ownership in the hands of the community, ensuring One Stone Soup can never be sold or exploited.

Let’s make the soup. Together.
