Support from Fair Trade in Norfolk
Fairtrade Fortnight is an annual campaign, around the end of February and beginning of March, led by the Fairtrade Foundation. It aims to draw attention to issue of ethical trade and to raise awareness about Fairtrade products and the Fairtrade Mark.
In addition to activities for the Fortnight, Fair Trade in Norfolk encourages and supports others to co-ordinate activities outside these two weeks. FTiN can help with:
- Providing publicity materials such as leaflets, posters or window stickers
- Providing information from past events
- Designing promotional materials
- Publicising your event
- Providing teaching materials and guest speakers for schools.
Want to hold your own event?
FTiN has loads of ideas to help you kick-start your event. We can help you co-ordinate food tastings to talks, or why not host a Fairtrade dinner for friends? Whatever you want your event to be, contact us for help.
