Gifts For Life
At Traidcraft Exchange, we work with many gifted people. People who, despite living in poverty, are using their skills to build a better life for themselves and their families through trade. But, however skilled they are, many simply can’t get their products to market, or lack the bargaining power to negotiate fair terms of trade. That’s why we would like to offer you the opportunity to buy a gift with a difference. A gift that could help to transform someone else’s life – and enable you to give something precious to a friend or relative.
Infinity Foods

We are very proud to have been awarded Best Local Retailer in the Observer Ethical Awards 2007. This award means a lot to us because it was voted for by our customers whose continued support over the years has made this achievment possible. Thank you.
One World Hull
Fair Trade is about working with people in the poorest nations to enable them to live in dignity and with hope for the future. Fair Trade works by paying reasonable wages for the work that is performed, by respecting the needs of individuals, by committing to long term relationships, and by providing credit where it is needed most. The Fair Trade movement is the result of thousands of men and women who see the consequences of the imbalance of power between the poorest nations and the richest nations, and feel moved in their hearts to take action to redress this situation. Fair Trade makes a real difference to the lives of the poorest producers.
Sainsbury's
In 1994 we were the first major supermarket in the UK to offer Fairtrade food. Today we are the biggest retailer of Fairtrade products in the UK, measured by sales value. Fairtrade offers producers in the developing world access to global trade markets and a guaranteed minimum price for their goods. Fairtrade standards protect producers against global price fluctuations and provide the security needed to plan for the future. Fairtrade also generates a social premium, allowing producers to invest in the development of their own local community. It’s been nearly seven years since we started selling Fairtrade bananas and many of our customers now expect the ethical standards of Fairtrade to apply to many of the products they buy from us. We’re now seeing record demand for Fairtrade amongst our customers. We pledged last year to double our sales of Fairtrade products, and we surpassed this goal by £36 million. Our annual Fairtrade sales now amount to £139 million and we expect them to grow beyond £200 million by the end of 2008/09.
Simply Fair
By simply switching from your current brand of product (be it coffee, tea, chocolate or any of the items on the certified list), to one that carries the FAIRTRADE Mark, you can use your purchasing power as economic muscle, secure in the knowledge that the product isn't being brought to you at such a tremendous cost to the people who grow it. If you take coffee as an example, under Fairtrade, growers get a much higher price for their coffee than they do under standard supply contracts. Yet, the extra cost to the consumer is well under a penny a cup. If we chose the Fairtrade option we can make a real difference for the growers. With 30 billion cups of coffee drunk every year in the UK alone, that's quite a difference.
