Yippee! We have now met the criteria for Fairtrade Town status and our application is being processed as I type.

This means lots more to do in 2010, starting with Fairtrade Fortnight, when we’ll be holding a celebration event for our supporters and a competition for local schools to create a Fairtrade poster.

Throughout the year we’ll be working hard to continue to raise awareness of Fairtrade in our borough and looking for even more supporters and suppliers to add to our directory.

If you know of any shops, cafes, businesses, organisations, schools or places of worship in Gedling borough that either sells or uses Fairtrade goods then please let us know. We’d love to say thank you to them and promote them here on our website.

Come along to our next meeting on Thursday 21st January, 7.30pm at Gedling Civic Centre, Arnold, Nottingham, NG5 6LU to find out more about our campaign, share your ideas and get involved.
