Green Dots and Donations

Find out why some of our products have a green dot

In the summer of 2021, a lovely lady we know who had been running her own online fair trade shop for a number of years had to downsize for personal reasons. We were very fortunate to be offered a great deal on some of her excess stock. From this stock, for every item we sell we have pledged to make a 25% donation to the Fairtrade Foundation, a charity registered in the UK (no. 1043886). We have marked these items with green dots, both online and in our retail unit in Hull’s Trinity Market Arcade. Look out for them, and shop happy with the knowledge that not only are you buying a fair trade item, but when you buy one of our Green Dot items you are also helping to support this worthwhile and hard-working charity.
