The Fair Trade Shop is a not-for-profit organisation run by a team of mainly volunteers, working to promote the concept of fair trade and the sale of fair trade goods in Felixstowe and the surrounding area. Originally born from caring individuals in the Ipswich Christian community, we have grown from humble beginnings in the late 1970s when volunteers, working from home, were taking boxes of mai

l order fair trade products to church and community events throughout Suffolk. Growth was such that in 1996 a permanent home for fair trade in Ipswich was set up at a shop in Orwell Place, and growth continues today when we now operate from larger premises in Upper Brook Street. I n addition to running the Ipswich Fair Trade Shop, the directors and volunteers are engaged in promoting the concept of fair trade through promotional talks to societies and groups. The company is a member of BAFTS (The British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers) and is associated with other Fair Trade bodies locally, nationally and internationally.

✨ Grand opening! ✨

What a busy and brilliant first day! We’ve been so touched by all the lovely customers who came through our doors, said hello and showed their support. ❤️

After 11 days of hard work, it means so much to finally be open — and Felixstowe, you’ve given us the warmest welcome! 🌍🛍️

A huge thank you to our Felixstowe Fairtrade Forum who joined us, and to Felixstowe Town Council Councillor Darren Aitchison cutting the ribbon and helping make our opening so special. 💚

Here’s to the start of something wonderful! ✨

We’re so excited to share the next chapter of our journey! 💚

We’re delighted to be partnering with Unwrapped & Refill shop, who are now the new Ipswich home for a selection of our Fairtrade gifts, cards and ethical products. 🌍✨

While our main shop is moving to Hamilton Road in Felixstowe early August, we’re thrilled that our Ipswich customers can still browse and buy some of their favourite Fairtrade items right in Ipswich.

This partnership is all about community, sustainability and supporting local independent businesses that share our values. It brings together two businesses with a shared passion. Alongside our Fairtrade products you’ll find Unwrapped’s fantastic range of refill products, vegan and eco-friendly groceries, and plastic-free essentials – making it easy to shop more sustainably all in one place. ♻️🌱

A huge thank you to:

• Beren from Unwrapped & Refill Shop for welcoming us so warmly

• local Councillor David Plowman from the Ipswich Green Party for kindly connecting us

• All the wonderful volunteers & Directors who helped with the move

Here’s to a new chapter, together. Thank you for your continued support. 💚

It’s a wrap… 💙

After 10 incredible years, we’ve officially closed the doors to our Upper Brook Street shop.

It’s the end of an era, and whilst this chapter has come to an end, our story certainly hasn’t…

One thing we can tell you is this… we’re not leaving Ipswich. Our presence will still be here, and we’ll continue to be part of the community that has supported us every step of the way.

And don’t forget… our exciting new shop in Felixstowe is still on its way! This is just one part of our next chapter. 💙

As for what’s next in Ipswich…

Let’s just say some things are better Unwrapped than explained. 🎁

And if you’re looking for a little clue… every great new beginning deserves a Refill. 💚♻️😁

To every single customer who has walked through our doors over the last 10 years—thank you. Your support, loyalty and kindness have meant more to us than you’ll ever know. We hope you’ll continue to support us in both Ipswich and Felixstowe as we begin this exciting new chapter.

Keep your eyes peeled over the coming days… we’ve got some wonderful news to share with you all. ✨

🌞 This week our Year 10 work experience student has been getting stuck in around the shop!

He put together this lovely beach picnic-inspired display, showing off his creativity and eye for presentation. 🏖️🧺🌺

He’s also had a go behind the till, helping customers processing deliveries and learning what it’s like to work in a retail environment.

he’s learned about Fairtrade and how it helps ensure farmers and producers receive fair prices, work in good conditions, and supports communities around the world. 🌍💚

It’s been great to have him.
