Fairtrade Fortnight takes place every year and brings together lots of fun activities taking place nationwide. But there are lots of ways you can support Fairtrade at other times; why not organise a coffee morning, a Fairtrade stall or tasting event in your community group, mosque or school? There are lots of free resources to help you and we can help publicise your events.
