The occasional Fair Trade and Palestinian shop in Glasgow
This month: Celebrating Fair Trade Week, with a speaker from Scottish Fair Trade Forum @ 11.30am
Are you …
- interested in buying food and crafts in support of fair trade, justice and – in particular – Palestinian farmers and craftworkers?
- wanting to find unique gifts and show practical solidarity with oppressed people?
- keen to source ethical brands of products that you use regularly, but are not widely or often available in shops you frequent?
Our wee Pop-Up Shop could be the answer to your shopping dilemmas!
Since November 2018, weeWONDERBOX and Hadeel have been collaborating to regularly offer this opportunity to source unique, hard-to-get, ethical products in central Glasgow, both in occasional pop-up shop form and also through the possibility of pick-ups of pre-ordered products at the Iona Community’s Glasgow base.
Today will feature the pop-up shop, with plenty of time to browse, plus a short presentation … and of course, refreshments.

Ordering & Pick-up
You can pre-order food or craft items for pick-up at the Pop-Up Shop on the 15th December; or at another time from the Iona Community Base in Carlton Court.
We hold a stock of the foods (see list above) at Carlton Court.
Crafts are held at Hadeel’s shop in Edinburgh and brought through for each Pop-Up Shop. You can browse crafts by visiting the links above (or via the Hadeel homepage) and if you wish a particular item(s), in a particular size, design or colour, you can pre-order this by contacting us at [email protected] or 0141 429 7281.
Thus, we can arrange for it to be brought through to Glasgow. It will then be available for pick-up at the Pop-Up Shop; or we can arrange a suitable pick-up time at the Iona Community Base on another day. Products can be paid for at the time of pick-up.
About Hadeel
- Hadeel is a Fair Trade shop which aims to provide a sustainable income and support for Palestinian artisans, farmers and others working in Fair Trade organisations and social enterprises.
- Palestinian handcrafts, living examples of ethnic art, and food are deeply rooted in the cultural identity and history of the people and land. They have become a symbols of the people and their striving for a normal way of life with a national status, free of the Israeli colonial occupation of their land.
- Palestinian handcrafts and food are part of the non-violent cultural resistance which benefits the economy and complements the BDS movement.
- Making beautiful handcrafts also gives people dignity and helps them psychologically to survive while living under conditions where their most basic human rights are denied.
- Hadeel (UK) is a company owned by the charity, Palcrafts (UK) – Scottish Charity number 033983.
- ‘Hadeel’ is Arabic for the cooing of a dove.
