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.
