Jim's Fair Trade Tips     by Jim Harle  

Welcome to Jim's ‘hot tip'. If you're new, here's a little intro:


I started hot tip with the main aim of ‘busting the myth' that Fairtrade was an unnafordable luxury. Now it's that and more. It's an opportunity to highlight new or interesting products, businesses and retailers as well as highlighting great FT bargains.

If you are a shop or café, if you have a new product, or any offers on FT products, do not hesitate to email me at jim@fairtradewales.com Maybe you've just bought or eatren something nice and want to recommend it. Either way, get in contact!

In this newsletter we have everything from blouses to balls to buttons: check it out!
