Fairtrade Fortnight takes place every year for two weeks at the end of February.
This year, kicking off on 24 February, the focus is on a three year campaign to promote a living wage for all, it will highlight the things we might take for granted (including treats like chocolate!) in a world where many farmers and workers can’t afford life’s essentials.
Fairtrade Fortnight has been around for the last 25 years and while most associate chocolate, cocoa, coffee and bananas, the Fairtrade movement covers many more industries including gold, cotton, tea, clothing, jewellery, flowers and food.
