Traidcraft is the UK's leading fair trade organisation, fighting poverty through trade. Established in 1979 as a Chrsitian response to poverty, they combine a trading company and a development charity. Their vision is a world freed from the scandal of poverty, where trade is just, and people and communities flourish.

The interface is an initiative of the Methodist Interface Group, an official body of the Methodist Church of Great Britain that explores contemporary issues from a faith-based perspective. The site was created with the aim of providing a friendly space for Methodists to discuss hot news topics and their implications for our faith. Everyone, whether Methodist or not, is invited to participate in the discussions.
