Make your County Fair Trade
Just like bcoming a Fairtrade town, in order to achieve Fairtrade status a county must achieve 5 goals:
-
Set up a Fairtrade action group
-
Council must pass a resolution to use Fairtrade products and support Fairtrade
-
Have Fairtrade products available in a certain number of shops and cafes
-
Have Fairtrade products available to staff in workplaces
-
Gain media and press coverage for the campaign
You can download a comprehensive action guide from the Fairtrade Foundation here.
Every county in Wales now has a Fairtrade county campaign. The list below gives you the key contact for each county:
