Shared Interest was set up in 1990 and brings together a community of over 12,000 people in the UK with a shared goal of investing in a fairer world. They work hand in hand with people in communities where income opportunities may be limited and businesses are facing increasing challenges.
They use the investments of their members to make loans to organisations of farmers and craftspeople as well as some fair trade buyers. The loans typically fund seeds, plants, materials, crops, equipment or finished goods. Once the crops or crafts are sold, the organisation repays Shared Interest the capital plus a fair rate of interest. The funds can then be recycled and lent out again.

With every bag of Bird & Wild coffee bought 6% of sales are donated to the RSPB. The coffee is 100% shade grown, which means that the coffee is grown in a tropical “agroforest” where migratory birds can find healthy havens to arrive to when migrating. The coffee is also Organic and Fairtrade certified. Simply put: they are making a difference one cup of coffee at a time.
