An MP met Wycombe for Fairtrade volunteers to discuss their efforts to promote Fairtrade.

The group, dedicated to ensuring more of the town’s retailers and catering outlets stock Fairtrade certified products, was visited by Emma Reynolds MP at Django’s Coffee House in High Wycombe.

This group partners with countries such as Kenya and Costa Rica, and Bucks New University, to promote social justice and fairer opportunities for future generations.

Ms Reynolds said “I pay tribute to Fairtrade and the work it has done over 30 years with farmers, workers, suppliers, brands, retailers, government and consumers to help producers improve their living standards, invest in their communities and businesses, and protect the environment.”

“I was particularly interested to hear about the video Wycombe for Fairtrade and Buck New Uni film students are producing to raise the profile of Fairtrade in our town.”

Wycombe for Fairtrade honorary president, Professor Fred Yamoah, said “Wycombe for Fairtrade aims to convince local people of the importance of Fairtrade in improving people’s lives.”
