It’s Fairtrade Fortnight!
29th Feb – 13th March 2016
Sit down for breakfast, stand up for farmers!
As Martin Luther King famously said, “Before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you’ve depended on more than half the world”. Despite our dependence on farmers and workers for the foods, drinks and products that we love, about 795 million people are undernourished globally.
Here at our new shop location, we’re getting really excited about all the activities coming up for Fairtrade Fortnight this year. The theme highlights our dependence on farmers and workers across the world and why it’s high time they were treated with respect and fairness.
We’re delighted to let you know what we’re offering schools and nurseries this year and share some of our ideas on what you can do in your school to make this Fairtrade Fortnight really successful.
What do you put on your toast in the morning??
