Fairtrade suppliers

There are far too many to give a comprehensive list, so here are a few favourites in each category

Most supermarkets now have some lines in Fairtrade foods, and many have some own brand fairly traded items. Oxfam shops also sell a good range.Try asking for Fairtrade coffee in your local coffee shop


If you are wanting to start using Fairtrade refreshments at church, why not contact your neighbouring churches and find out what they do?  You may be able to order together. Alternatively, contact us to find out about other churches in your area.
