The One World Shop was established over 30 years ago and has played a lead role in the Fair Trade movement in Scotland, including helping Edinburgh and Glasgow become Fair Trade cities. As well as running a thriving city centre shop, we have an online shop and we support schools, faith groups and local businesses to learn about and sell fair trade products. We currently employ 7 paid staff and over 20 volunteers. Our aim is to reduce poverty in deprived areas of the world through trading fairly and we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting low-carbon living.

We are seeking to appoint a number of new voluntary Management Committee members; we are particularly looking at people with skills and experience in any of the following:

• Retail sales and management
• Business management
• Human Resources
• Finance, funding, ethical investment
• Property, leases, surveying

Board meetings are held every two months in the evening in central Edinburgh or by Zoom.
