Rainbow Turtle is a group of committed individuals helping to promote Fair Trade in Paisley and Renfrewshire. We believe that by selling fair trade products and teaching about fair trade in schools we create a virtuous circle between ourselves and farmers and producers in the global south.
What is fair trade?
Fair Trade is a partnership between producers and consumers which ensures producers in the developing world have good working conditions and fair prices.
