Rainbow Turtle

Rainbows are symbols of hope and promise, and also of inclusion and diversity. When turtles are ‘belly-up’ they are at their most vulnerable to attack and it seems that the poorest people in the world will be forever vulnerable unless we turn trade values the right way up! Rainbow Turtle was set up in Paisley in 2002 by a group concerned with the promotion and development of Fair Trade. The objective was to raise public awareness of Fair Trade and encourage more people to buy fairly traded products. Rainbow Turtle comprises two distinct but related areas of activity: a Trading Company and a Charity. The trading company, Rainbow Turtle Just Trading, is a registered social enterprise that supports Fair Trade sales through its delightful shop in Paisley and offers stalls to schools, businesses and faith groups. To find out more visit our Just Trading page. Rainbow Turtle is also a recognised Scottish Charity (Scottish Charity number SC034097) committed to working in partnership with producers in the developing world. The charity works in several ways to enhance the profile of Fair Trade, including offering support and advice about fair trade to schools, organising producer visits and giving talks to schools, faith groups and other organisations.
