More and more shoppers are beginning to ask questions.....
Since opening in 1989 The Spurriergate Centre has regularly promoted Fair Trade issues and sold gifts, crafts and food supplied by companies such as
Traidcraft - www.traidcraft.co.uk
or
Bishopston Trading Company - www.bishopstontradingco@supanet.com
You can also make a noise about injustice in the world by visiting www.speak.org.uk or www.ekklesia.co.uk

These and many more are actively involved in supporting workers in the Developing World.
But What Can I Do....?
By purchasing fairly traded goods you can have a
dramatic effect on the lives of poor people throughout the world.
Many of the items available in the shops within the Centre are
supplied by Fair Trade companies who insist that workers are paid a reasonable wage and are working in humane working conditions.
The coffee used in the Centre's restaurant is also fairly traded -
so why not treat yourself and encourage a better deal for the coffee growers.
