buy Fairtrade

By buying fairly traded goods we not only ensure that the producer is paid a fair price for his or her labour but we support producers in poorer parts of the world in protecting their environment. A commitment to protect the local environment forms part of the fair trade agreement between producer and buyer.

There is an increasing number of outlets for Fairtrade goods and the range is ever wider. The early days when the range and quality of goods was poor have long gone. Food, clothes, cosmetics, footballs and household items are among the things we can buy.

Local Fairtrade groups produce useful directories of outlets in their areas. Look for them in shops and libraries.
