Fairtrade Fortnight 2013
Fairtrade Fortnight is from Monday 25 February to Sunday 10 March 2013!
Next year it’s time to take a stand for the food we love and the people who grow it. Without our support now, farmers in developing countries face an uncertain future.
In 2012 we asked everyone to take a step for Fairtrade and nearly 1 million steps have been registered so far. But there’s still so much more to do. In 2013 we want to take Fairtrade further and we need your help to reach more farmers and workers who urgently need a better deal from trade.
Together, we’ll be part of a UK-wide movement speaking up about the injustices that mean farmers in poorer countries struggle to make ends meet.
More Fairtrade Fortnight 2013 news coming soon.

Our second Ecofair was held in Haworth on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 September. Lots of sustainable activities went on again. Have a look at the Fair Intents website to find out more but before you go over there have a listen to John Drury’s song George that we recorded recently.
Fair Trade Way
Good news time. The Fair Trade Way has been launched. Have a look at the website and maybe even have a go at a day or 6!
The Fair Trade Way is a long-distance footpath is designed as a 6-day walk between Garstang (The World’s first Fairtrade Town) and Keswick (A very active Fairtrade Town). It is designed to promote the positive impact that using Fairtrade products can have on the lives of people who suffer whilst they produce the resources that we in the more wealthy countries consume in our everyday lives. On this route, walkers are encouraged to use Fairtrade food, drinks and accommodation serving Fairtrade products when they are walking.

Fair Intents was an Eco-Fair held over the weekend of the 11/12 September 2010. Music, stalls and information were all in the Bronte Parsonage Meadow for those 2 days. The event was ambitious but highly successful with well over 1500 people attending. The event will be held again on the second weekend in September 2011. For more information have a look at the Fair Intents website. The video below shows just some of the activities that went on on the Saturday. Come and join us next year. More information will be available on both sites nearer the event.
Fairtrade Fortnight 2011
For Fairtrade Fortnight 2011 the Fairtrade Foundation is asking the nation to show off about buying Fairtrade and the impact it has on producers.
We want everyone to get loud and proud about Fairtrade, whether it’s the cake they baked using Fairtrade sugar or the Fairtrade products they stock and sell.
