Please support your local Fair Trade Centre – also Vegan, Organic & sustainable.

Recommended Posts

Our Fair Trade Centre is opposite Dulwich Plough in Christ Church, 263 Barry Road.  You might not even know we are here, but we have been since the early 2000’s!

 

We take pride in providing a service to local residents, bringing people into the church who might not ordinarily have come through the door.   We also offer volunteering opportunities to the local community and, most importantly, support fair trade, helping farmers and producers in the wider world.

 

We are privileged to be the last remaining Fair Trade Centre in a fair trade church in London.  Please come on in and support us here in East Dulwich.

 

We sell fair trade products such as tea, coffee, chocolate, rice, eco and sustainable cleaning products … as well as great gifts for Christmas coming up!

 

We are open six days a week - Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm and Saturdays, 10am to 1pm.  

 

We believe we have an important role to play in selling fair trade products, and in supporting this cause in our amazing community.  Hope to see you soon!

LOVE the Fair Trade Centre.  Great products - and so lovely purchasing items that support both Fair Trade, and a great charity in our community.

Whatsmore, lovely Mary who runs the centre, welcomed my son in to do his Volunteering for his Duke of Edinburgh last year.  Such a lovely lady.  She taught him a lot, and was very kind with my rather shy chap.

I'm sure they could so with as much support as possible to keep everything running.  xx

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
