Find Out More About Fairtrade!
Fairtrade Fortnight is the 26th February - 11th March and this year's theme is 'CHANGE TODAY, CHOOSE FAIRTRADE.' So, ask yourself, 'Are you ready to make the change to Fairtrade?' If not, why not? What's stopping you? Do you need some support in encouraging your organisation to switch to using Fairtrade products? Or do you simply want to know more?
Then come along to 'The Mayor's Fairtrade Coffee Morning,' on the 9th March at 10am, in the Council Offices, to learn more about the benefits of Fairtrade for the producers and for you! Find out about the wide variety of Fairtrade products that are available, ask any questions, meet suppliers, indulge in a Fairtrade tea or coffee and soak up the Fairtrade Info on display. All funds from the Coffee Morning will support War on Want N.I.'s Agricultural Projects in Malawi, where life expectancy is 37.5 years, and Uganda, where it's 46 years.
