FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT 29th Feb – 13 March 2016

So maybe this morning you enjoyed coffee from Kenya, cocoa from Cote d’Ivoire, tea from India, sugar from Malawi and juice from Brazilian oranges…not forgetting bananas from Colombia!
Hopefully they were Fairtrade!
Fifty years on from Martin Luther King’s famous speech, our lives are more closely entwined than ever. That is why it is a scandal that the people who grow the food we take for granted can’t always feed their own families.   They do not have food security.
We can do something to tackle this injustice and support farmers and workers to put food on their families’ tables, by harnessing the power of a Fairtrade breakfast.
Get behind Fairtrade Fortnight and join in the…
BIG FAIRTRADE BREAKFAST!
As we are a Fairtrade Town will you help us get as many people as possible to eat a Fairtrade Breakfast in this community during Fairtrade Fortnight?
Fairtrade Breakfasts will be happening throughout the UK…can you and/or your organization take part in the biggest breakfast the world has ever seen? Go to fairtrade.org.uk/breakfast and for resources and links for more information visit shop.fairtrade.org.uk and fairtrade.org.uk/fortnight
What counts as a Fairtrade Breakfast?
Each person eating one Fairtrade foodstuff and drinking one Fairtrade beverage qualifies and it can be any time of the day! You might have a bowl of Fairtrade muesli with a cup of Fairtrade tea at home, a coffee break with Fairtrade chocolate muffins at work, attending a BIG BREAKFAST, or grabbing a Fairtrade banana and orange juice…they all count – as long as they are registered.
So will you help?

Bring the BIG FAIRTRADE BREAKFAST to Coniston and Torver!
There are 3 simple steps to get involved:
1. Organise your own breakfast.
2. Inspire others to host a breakfast.
3. Register your breakfast on the totaliser at fairtrade.org.uk/breakfast
Do let your local Fairtrade Team know [Every Weds. At St Andrew’s] what you are doing and if they can help.

Together we can make a difference!
