Ethically sourced goods that don’t carry the Mark are described as being ‘fairly traded’. Some products cannot carry the FAIRTRADE Mark, as no agreed criteria exist for them. These fairly traded products include handicrafts, paper, soapstone, wood and metal items. It is best to buy such items from BAFTS registered shops (British Association for Fair Trade Shops) as they vet their suppliers. This Directory lists some BAFTS shops/ outlets using BAFTS suppliers to help you. To fi nd out more about Fairtrade in Durham, and to hear the latest on our mobile website which you will be able to add to, please go to www.countydurhamfairtrade.org.uk Our funders Dear Reader Cllr Neil Foster 3 Monmouth Place, Bath BA1 2AT www.socialpublishingproject.com It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the second County Durham Fairtrade Directory, which has been produced thanks to the collaboration of the Durham Cooperative Membership Committee, Durham County Council and Durham City Fair Trade Partnership. As well as articles about Co- operative Membership activities and local Fairtrade matters, this edition brings you a whole host of cafes, shops, independent local retailers, restaurants, museums and attractions who are proud to serve or sell products with the FAIRTRADE Mark. In less than 20 years, there are now over 4,500 products with the FAIRTRADE Mark. This certifi cation is your guarantee that each product has been independently verifi ed by the Fairtrade Foundation, and gives a better deal to marginalised producers in developing countries. This Directory also lists outlets where fairly-traded goods such as handicrafts, paper and household items can be found, which are outside the current guidelines of the FAIRTRADE Mark. I do hope that you enjoy this publication and will join us in supporting Fairtrade within County Durham. Look out for our mobile website which will be available soon to bring you all this information at your fi ngertips! Cllr Neil Foster PLEASE NOTE: Every effort has been made to ensure that entries in this Directory are accurate, however, we cannot guarantee that all information is correct. We recommend that you contact the establishment beforehand to check details of products held. A listing in this Directory is not an endorsement of that establishment by Co-operative Membership or Durham County Council.
