British Association For Fair Trade Shops
Multiple e mails
I am aware that multiple e mails are being received from BAFTS at the moment. I am working on this with the e mail hosting company, but at present I am not sure if it is them (GreenNet) or my computer that is at fault.
I sincerely apologise for this situation, but be assured that I am working on it and will refrian from sending non urgent e mails until a solution has been found

Why Shop at a BAFTS Fair Trade Shop?
By shopping at a BAFTS retailer you are ensuring that your money is spent on Fair Trade goods. All BAFTS retailers must buy at least 70% of their stock from recognised Fair Trade sources. BAFTS recognises the following sources as Fair Trade: Fairtrade marked products, members of the International Fair Trade Association and BAFTS recognised Importers.
By shopping in a BAFTS shop you will:
- Get connected with the people behind the products. BAFTS retailers know about where the product came from and who made it.
- BAFTS retailers are independently owned, which means that each shopping experience will be unique.
- Ensure the money you spend goes back to supporting the producer, as the BAFTS shop can purchase more Fair Trade goods from those same producers.
- By shopping at an independent local business you are supporting the local economy.
- Find out more about Fair Trade and Trade Justice from people who know what they are talking about.
- Find the biggest selection of Fair Trade products around. See the continuously expanding and improving range of Fair Trade goods- from food to crafts to clothes.
