A Fairtrade Town is any community that:
- Supports Fairtrade and works to deepen understanding of the benefits that Fairtrade brings
- Takes action by choosing Fairtrade products whenever possible and encourages others to do likewise
- Achieves and continues to take action on the five Fairtrade Town goals set by the Fairtrade Foundation
The Five Goals for a Fairtrade Town
- Local Council passes a resolution supporting Fairtrade, and agrees to serve Fairtrade products
- A range of Fairtrade products is readily available in the area’s retails outlets and served in local catering outlets
- Local workplaces and community organisations support Fairtrade and use Fairtrade products whenever possible
- Media coverage and events raise awareness and understanding of Fairtrade across the community
- A local Fairtrade steering group is convened to ensure the Fairtrade Town Campaign continues to develop and gain new support
