How many cups of tea and coffee do you get through in a week? Just think about the positive impact your office, staffroom or tea room could have on the lives of farmers in developing countries by converting to Fairtrade. Fairtrade has helped the lives of seven million farmers, their families and communities through fair and stable prices for their goods and Fairtrade premiums for communities. With your long term commitment that number can grow. Help producers in developing countries get a fair go: become a Fair Trade Community!
We welcome applications for this exciting new festival which will be held on Saturday the 24th October from 9am to 2pm.
