The Fair-Trade group run a healthy tuck shop, selling drinks and snacks using only Fair-Trade products to raise awareness of the impact our food choices have on people and places elsewhere.
Delivered a Fair-Trade assembly to the school to raise awareness of the impact Fair-Trade has on the farmers growing the food and how it can benefit the local communities in which they live. Provide a healthy tuck for the school. Attended a Fair-Trade summit at the local University, where we heard from a farmer from Palestine, who explained how he grew his crops and how Fair-Trade has helped him, his family and whole community in which he lives. Visited a local day care centre for the elderly where we gave a presentation on the journey of bananas from plantations to the supermarket shelves. We outlined how much of the cost goes to the land owner, the farmer, the shipping costs, the exporter and finally how much the supermarket gets. This highlighted the importance of responsible buying and that buying Fair-Trade ensures the farmers get a good, fair price.
