Fairtrade Fortnight 22 September to 5 October 2025
We really hope that you’ll want to get involved with Fairtrade Fortnight. There are ideas and links to great resources here https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/get-involved/current-campaigns/fairtrade-fortnight/
Together, our actions can have a positive impact on real people’s lives. Fairer pay, fairer treatment, fairer futures – that’s Fairtrade. For instance, you could check out the Brew It Fair campaign and sign the petition to get better conditions for workers on tea plantations.
You could still organise a tea-tasting to get the message across. See how to do it here
So, whatever you do, and however you do it, we’re asking: Do it Fair.
For over 30 years Fairtrade has been supporting over 2 million Fairtrade farmers and workers across 58 countries to ensure they can earn a fairer wage and extra money to spend in their community. It’s also about tackling the effects of a changing climate, giving more power to women and protecting the environment.
Despite successes over the last 30 years, our global food system still isn’t fair. Farmers are part of a chain in which power is unfairly distributed. They are frequently forced to sell their crops for less money than they cost to grow. The climate crisis is making conditions even more challenging for farmers.
We hope that as many people as possible will publicise and use Fairtrade products. Could you organise a Fairtrade coffee morning? Hold a tea tasting, promoting the current Brew It Fair campaign? Show a film? Or just put a few items with the Fairtrade Mark into your shopping trolley
You can find our contact details and fuller information about our events on our Campaign Exchange page for Havant or for Portsmouth Fairtrade Forum or our Facebook group Fairtrade SE Hants.
