About Me

Rachel and Rachel
Rachel and Rachel

I’m Rachel and I am passionate about Fairtrade and the difference it makes to producers and artisans around the world.

Fairtrade at St Stephen’s strives to sell a wonderful range of delicious Fairtrade food as well as beautiful handicrafts created by talented artisans around the world.

Each product purchased makes a real difference to real people, with fair prices being paid to each producer and artisan, alongside fair working conditions for all involved.

I love choosing products to sell and in ‘normal times’ I also enjoying arranging the display in St Stephen’s Church as well as supporting other local fayres throughout the year.

Carvers work in small groups with each group specialising in certain carvings.  The carvings are then polished and dyed in vibrant colours and beautiful etchings inscribed in them by skilled teams of artisans.
