What our previous participants say

"One of the best holidays I've been on and where I've learnt so much."

Meet the producers

One of the groups you will be visiting is St Mary's, where women use traditional skills to make handicrafts. These women are often the sole earners in their families, after the men were made redundant when the textile mills were closed.

Traidcraft has been working with St Mary's for over 20 years.
