National and international Fairtrade organisations

Fairtrade Association Birmingham members

• Birmingham City Council

  http://www.birmingham.gov.uk

  

  In 2004, Birmingham City Council passed a resolution to actively promote and support Fairtrade, an important step towards Birmingham becoming a Fairtrade City.

  The City Council continues to play an important role as a Fairtrade supporter and its ongoing commitment to Fairtrade is an essential requirement for Birmingham's continued Fairtrade City status.

• Rangoli

  Rangoli is a fairly traded online gift store based in Birmingham. From 'Papier Mache' styled letter racks to ceramic drawers and leather purses, you will find an exclusive and exquisite range of handmade gift ideas designed by the craftsmen from all over India.

  My name is Sushan. I am behind Rangoli. The idea of Rangoli goes back to my humble beginnings in the city of Kolkata, where I was truly inspired by the rich artistic heritage. Later travelling with daughter, I further discovered the magic of ethnic crafts. It is now a pleasure to bring these craftsmanship to your doorsteps and help revive age old trade and traditions.
