Fairtrade status renewed!

Dunbar’s status as a Fairtrade Town has just been renewed for a further two years by the Fairtrade Foundation.

Confirming the renewal, the Foundation wrote to the Dunbar Fairtrade Group: “It is clear that a lot of time and energy has been put in to make Fairtrade a part of the community, so we would like to pass on our congratulations and say thank you to everyone who has been involved. We were particularly impressed with your webpage, which is a great way to share your news and celebrate the events you have been holding. We were pleased to see all the photos of these events and to read that they have been supported by your local councillors, MP and MSP.”

Nigel Bird of Dunbar Fairtrade Group said: “We are delighted that our Fairtrade Town status has been renewed, and would like to thank all our supporters for making this possible. We are now planning to encourage Dunbar’s employers, large and small, to use Fairtrade products on a daily basis. A wide variety of products from food and drink to clothing can be found online through the National Fairtrade Purchasing Guide.

“We would also like to make links with our neighbouring Fairtrade Town, North Berwick. We will continue to run stalls at some events, and we will be back with our popular coffee morning in Fairtrade Fortnight next spring.”
