The sea at Filey by night

Mapping exercise in progress

All the shops and cafes listed below offer at least two items of fairly traded goods. Members of the Fairtrade Action Group have visited all these premises (along with many others who are not yet 'on board' but have expressed interest) since July 2006. These establishments stock at least two Fairtrade items, and most stock much more.

If you find a retail outlet not on our list, or if you are a retailer who should be included on our list please let us know.(List updated 22 May 2008)

You might also like to follow this link to the Trade Justice - Yorkshire Churches web site which lists other outlets around the region as well as many Fairtrade events and resources.

And if you are a Fairtrade retailer outside the borough boundary we'd still be delighted to hear from you. One company who got in touch was The Organic Farm Shop in Pickering which stocks a wide range of organic Fair Trade goods and delivers free to Scarborough on Thursday.

Fairtrade goodies are flying off the shelves at Seamer Stores, says owner Steph Summers.

Steph was keen to stock Fairtrade goods in her Seamer Stores after a conversation with a friend from Pindar School where the Fairtrade message is being spread with great enthusiasm! Now she stocks an ever-widening range of Fairtrade goods and is preparing a special area of the shop to display them. From wine to chocolate, snacks to fresh fruit drinks – ‘very popular with local schoolchildren because they taste so good,’ said Steph! – ‘they're flying off the shelves’.

Like any other business, Seamer Stores has to shop around for the best value suppliers and Steph is learning very quickly! So it's not just that great warm glow of doing something for our disadvantaged neighbours around the world, it's also the delight of satisfied repeat customers and the constant ringing of the till!

Traidcraft stalls are held in Churches throughout the Borough and the local Hospice also has a permanent Traidcraft Stall in the reception area.
