The Rainbow Turtle trading company is a social enterprise that supports Fair Trade sales in its shop in Paisley. The shop stocks a diverse range of goods including foodstuffs, clothing, jewellery, crafts, cards, stationery, toys, gifts and leisure items.
Our shop relies on the support of its volunteers. There are several ways in which you can become involved as a volunteer; see our ‘Get Involved’ section for more information.
The shop has been host to several visiting producers of fairly traded goods which has encouraged the volunteers and motivates us to continue with our mission to fight world poverty through trade.
Fair trade relies on the telling of stories to connect our customers with our producers. When you understand what it takes for someone to get their products to our shop then you are more likely to buy them. Our relationship with our suppliers is important to us, they provide the connections with the producers and share the producers’ stories. Visit our Suppliers page to read about the people who make the products we sell.
