How can I promote Fairtrade?

Home > Services > Community and living > Fairtrade

We can all do something to support the Fairtrade movement. If you help a little or a lot, it all makes a difference to people in Third World countries with the greatest need.

See how many of these suggestions you can do!

• When you go out shopping, look for products that carry the Fairtrade logo.
• Ask for Fairtrade teas, coffees and biscuits to be made available at your workplace.
• For a school, college or university project, write about or give a presentation on Fairtrade. Information packs designed to help with educational work are available from the Fairtrade Foundation website.
• If your community group, social group or church group is looking for a speaker for an event, invite someone to speak about Fairtrade, or offer to do it yourself!
• Arrange a Fairtrade stall for your group meetings, or host a coffee morning with Fairtrade refreshments.
• Volunteer to help in a Fairtrade shop such as Rainbow Turtle.
• Check out the Fairtrade Foundation website for leaflets and posters which you can display in your school, university, workplace or place of worship and help spread the Fairtrade message.
