The Fair Trade Shop is a not-for-profit organisation run by a team of mainly volunteers, working to promote the concept of fair trade and the sale of fair trade goods in Felixstowe and the surrounding area. Originally born from caring individuals in the Ipswich Christian community, we have grown from humble beginnings in the late 1970s when volunteers, working from home, were taking boxes of mail order fair trade products to church and community events throughout Suffolk. Growth was such that in 1996 a permanent home for fair trade in Ipswich was set up at a shop in Orwell Place, and growth continues today when we now operate from larger premises in Upper Brook Street. I n addition to running the Ipswich Fair Trade Shop, the directors and volunteers are engaged in promoting the concept of fair trade through promotional talks to societies and groups. The company is a member of BAFTS (The British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers) and is associated with other Fair Trade bodies locally, nationally and internationally.

🇳🇵 Standing with Nepal

We are deeply saddened by the devastating floods in Nepal and the loss and destruction they have caused.

As a fair trade shop, Nepal holds a special place in our hearts. Behind the beautiful handmade products we sell are skilled artisans, families and communities — people whose creativity and craftsmanship we value and care about.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected, and with all those waiting anxiously for news of loved ones.

We stand with our fair trade partners and friends in Nepal, and hope that in the difficult days and months ahead, the strength of these communities will help them rebuild and recover.

Our thoughts are with Nepal. ❤️🇳🇵
