Make your Town Fair Trade

To become a Fairtrade Town (or any other populated area), 5 goals must be met:

• The local council must pass a resolution supporting Fairtrade, and serve Fairtrade coffee and tea at its meetings and in offices and canteens.

• A range of Fairtrade products must be readily available in the area’s shops and served in local cafés and catering establishments (targets are set in relation to population)

• Fairtrade products must be used by a number of local work places (estate agents, hairdressers etc) and community organisations (churches, schools etc)

• The council must attract popular support for the campaign.

• A local Fairtrade steering group must be convened to ensure continued commitment to Fairtrade Town status.
