The Just World Shop is a fairtrade shop selling goods purchased from our partners in the developing world. Its aim is to aleviate poverty through trade. It does this by giving the suppliers a fair price for their products thus enabling them to provide health and education for their families and build their way out of poverty
The shop was established in 1991 and is run by a group of volunteers drawn mainly from the surrounding churches. Its object is to raise public awareness to the scandal of world poverty, which sees 30,000 people die each day in Africa alone.

The turnover for the shop recently was £73,000. This has doubled in the last four years. indicating a growing awareness amonst the general public of the concept of fairtrade as the most effective way of tackling world poverty.

The latest venture by the shop is to go out to schools and colleges to spread the message amongst the next generation who we are convinced will indeed make poverty history.
