Not only does Fairtrade benefit small-scale producers in developing countries by paying them a fair price, but it tastes great too!

Did you know that Oxfam is the only charity retailer of FAIRTRADE certified food on the High Street? You can buy everything from chocolate boxes to fruit juice and cotton bags. In fact, over 70 different FAIRTRADE certified items are sold at 460 Oxfam shops. In 2005, Oxfam sold £3.4 million worth of Fairtrade food!

And Oxfam provides a one-stop shop for conscientious shoppers to stock up on Christmas gifts with a range of Christmas cards, Fair Trade jewellery, accessories, homewares, candles, games, Fairtrade food, and Christmas crackers, as well as a broad range of recycled and environmentally friendly products.

As well as a wide range of delicious Fairtrade fruit juices, chocolate, cookies and other snacks, you can also get Fairtrade essentials in bulk – our 500g tins of Cafédirect coffee and bumper packs of Teadirect (440 bags) are perfect for taking to work. There are even Fairtrade packets of sugar on the shelves. So, whether you're buying for yourself, or to share with family, friends or colleagues, Fairtrade is good to go! So there’s no excuse – buy Fairtrade today from your local Oxfam shop or from a range available online here.

The ethical choice

Oxfam really is the place for conscientious shoppers. As well as the Fairtrade food products we stock, there is a huge range of gifts in Oxfam shops, all of which are either Fairtrade or have been sourced in line with Oxfam’s Ethical Purchasing Policy. And 100 per cent of the profit made from Oxfam shops helps to fund our work in 70 countries. So every time you buy from one of our shops you are making a difference in the fight against poverty.
