Regional Support Conferences 2019

The Fairtrade Foundation says “It’s a quarter of a century since we launched the FAIRTRADE Mark in the UK. Powered by people and community action, it’s grown from an idea about justice and fairness among a few like-minded groups, into a household name. It has completely changed how we think about the people who produce the food, drink and clothing we enjoy every day. “

The following regional conferences are being run in the UK to recognise this landmark:

  • Exeter – Saturday 21 September 2019: 10:30am – 3:30pm, Exeter Community Centre.
  • Middlesbrough – Saturday 21 September – 10:30am – 3:30pm – Teeside University Students’ Union.
  • Nottingham – Saturday 26 October – 10:30am – 3:30pm – Albert Hall Conference Centre.

Fairtrade Fortnight 2019

For two weeks each year, thousands of individuals, companies and groups across the UK come together to celebrate the people who grow our food, people who live in some of the poorest countries in the world and who are often exploited and badly paid. This year we are focusing on the people – in particular the women – who grow the cocoa in the chocolate we love so much.
