Justicia Who we are and what we do
Justicia was started in 1985 when a group of likeminded people came together with a small but sufficient capital backing from local churches. The enterprise thrived and needed larger premises and after a short term move nearby moved into its present premises in 1988.
We sell lots of different Fair Trade food and gifts, from biscuits, chocolate and coffee, to glitter pens, bags and socks. Fair Trade helps people in the developing world to receive an income so that they can afford enough food for their families, have clean water, access to education and health care. Fair Trade goods also have to be produced without damaging the environment, without child labour and by people who have good working conditions. These are all things that we believe should be available to everyone no matter where you are born and so we believe that supporting and promoting Fair Trade is important. on Knowsley Street and by having stalls in schools, colleges, churches, workplaces and at fairs and outside events, when Covid rules allow.
Promoting Fair Trade is also really important so we go into schools, colleges and visit other groups to give talks, lessons and take part in assemblies and church services to tell people about Fair Trade.
Our volunteers are really important to us. Without them we wouldn’t be able to keep Justicia running. Volunteers work in the shop, in our stockroom and at stalls at outside events. Often people need work experience, to build their confidence, to have something to add to their CV, improve their English or simply they want to give their time generously. There are many reasons why people want to volunteer and we are always happy for people to join us in the work that we do.
