Fair trade is our mission: Make it yours


We work hard to make it easy for you to make your church fair trade

Your church can support Renfrewshire's status as a Fairtrade Zone


Fairtrade is committed to improving the lives of millions of people who live in poverty in developing countries. Renfrewshire council, organisations and volunteers worked hard together to achieve a Fairtrade Zone status for Renfrewshire, awarded in 2009; A much larger campaign is underway as the Scottish Fairtrade Forum is working towards getting Fairtrade status for Scotland.


We need your support to work together as a community to make this happen. By promoting Fairtrade you will be contributing to the campaign and being in solidarity with people in developing countries.



How can my church get involved?


Serve Fairtrade tea and coffee

Serve fairly traded foods and crafts to the members of your Church

Help promote Fairtrade through educational campaigns in your Church

Include Fairtrade issues in your prayer and worship



It's easy!


Rainbow Turtle offers a wide variety of Fairtrade products and has different packages to suit your needs.


We can help:

Fairtrade Stalls
We can help you set up a Fairtrade stall selling fair trade products and crafts as required. This is a good way to spread the message of Fairtrade, and to show people what kinds of Fairtrade products are available for their daily use.

Fairtrade beverages
We can provide a range of fairtrade beverages to order, including individual sachet/catering lots.

Fairtrade clothing
We can provide access to a unique range of fairly traded, handpainted clerical stoles and clerical shirts via our online store. The clerical shirts are not yet ready for sale, however the handmade clerical stoles are proving popular. For more immediate information, please Contact us

Handmade Crosses
We can provide handmade crosses made by hand in Nicaragua from recycled materials for Rainbow Turtle by young adults with disabilities who are supported by the Nicaraguan NGO 'Familias Especiales' (Special Families). These are ideal tokens for an event, as card-labels for a gift, and as personal bookmarks. View the crosses on our online store.


Ordering:

We provide products either via Sale Or Return or via Account-holder Order.


Sale or return involves collecting a stall of products on the arranged date; you return the unsold goods along with the money raised for those which are sold.


Alternatively, an Order can be placed, in which case all goods are purchased and you will receive an invoice for the total amount; An order requires opening an account, however you receive a 10% discount on the products.


Our clerical stoles are available on our online store now! We are also having more made at this moment; If you register and choose to recieve product newsletters from us, we can keep you updated on when the Clerical Shirts go online, and when the new set of Clerical Stoles are available.
