A big part of Fair Do’s is our network of Sale-or-Return Reps. These are people who take stock from the shop to sell in their schools, churches, workplaces etc. They freely give their time and enthusiasm to spread the message of fair trade and on our part we try to support them in any way we can.
We keep careful records of everyones sales and annually produce certificates for our top sellers. This year our highest seller sold over £4,800 - wow! And 25 reps topped the £1,000 mark, so congratulations!
We really value the hard work and dedication of all our reps and would like to thank them for helping to make the world a better and fairer place. If you’d like to see our top ten list, then please do pop into the shop!

Spring has sprung in Cardiff and that can only mean one thing – the annual Fair Do’s Fair Trade Fashion Show!
For the past 6 years we’ve enjoyed sell-out nights of Fashion Fun at Chapter Arts Centre in Canton, so this year we’re moving somewhere with a bit more room. We will be guests at The Gate Arts Centre in Keppoch Street, Roath for one ‘bigger-than-ever’ night on Saturday 5 May! The round arena will seat more in one evening than we could seat in two evenings at Chapter – so prepare for a fair trade extravaganza.
Our local models will show-off clothes from producers all over the world. Showcasing many different styles of clothes and accessories for any occasion all with the common thread of fair trade. Fair trade isn’t just for the ladies though, with children’s and men’s clothes also on display.
During the show we will also take part in the Global Journey, which has promoted fair trade around the world, and we hope to be joined by a very special guest as well!
Make sure you book your tickets early to avoid the disappointment of missing out on one of the highlights of the year in Cardiff.
Tickets cost £5 (£3 for under-16s) and can be bought in advance from Fair Do’s ~ Siopa Teg in Canton and for more information you can phone the shop on 029 2022 2066.
