Get Ready for Fairtrade Fortnight

Fairtrade Fortnight takes place from 25 Feb - 9 March 2008, so now is the time to get thinking of how you can get involved.

Council will host a series of events throughout the Borough to show its commitment to Fairtrade. and there are lots of things you can do in your school, workplace or community.

Fairtrade guarantees a better deal for Third World Producers. In 2006, UK sales reached over £290m and global sales of Fairtrade reached £1.1bn!

You can do your bit by organising a coffee morning using Fairtrade produce which is available in larger supermarkets or why not ttry cooking a meal for your family using only Fairtrade products?
