Take a step in the right direction this Fairtrade Fortnight
Throughout Fairtrade Fortnight (27 February – 11 March 2012), we will be supporting the Fairtrade Foundation by challenging and encouraging you to take a step in the right direction.
We are asking everyone to think about what they will be doing every day, every week or every month throughout 2012 to make a difference to the lives of farmers in the developing world who produce the products we buy.
This could be by choosing to buy a Fairtrade coffee on the way to work, or by making sure that, your weekly shopping basket contains one or two more Fairtrade products like Fairtrade tea, sugar or bananas or simply by encouraging your friends and family to switch to Fairtrade.
Products
We will be hosting a Traidcraft and Fairtrade product shop on Thursday 8 March from noon to 2pm in Café Parkside to introduce you to range of products that will allow you to take a step in the right direction.
The aim will be to inspire people not to just think about Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight, but to get them involved with Fairtrade at different times of the year.
If you are hosting an event across Hounslow in your church, school or with your community group, please contact us and tell us what you will be doing so that we can register your step on the Fairtrade Foundations website.
Please see the Fairtrade guide demonstrating what you can do each month to support Fairtrade:
