Fairtrade

Fairtrade in Our District

Our Fairtrade Steering Committee works to promote Fairtrade across Newry, Mourne and Down.

We want to:

• Increase the number of local shops, cafés and restaurants offering Fairtrade products
• Encourage more people to choose Fairtrade when they shop or eat out.

How to Become a Fairtrade School

Many schools already explore Fairtrade through the Eco-Schools Programme as part of the Global Perspectives topic. To find out how to register as a Fairtrade School, visit: www.fairtrade.org.uk or www.fairtrade.ie. Both websites have free online resources to help you get started.

Fairtrade UK has a dedicated schools website: www.schools.fairtrade.org.uk for information about the Fairtrade Schools Awards, which has three easy stages to complete.

Our Commitment

We will keep promoting Fairtrade within our own offices and across the district. Each year, we encourage local people and businesses to take part in Fairtrade Fortnight.
