Dunbar Fairtrade Partnership
Dunbar has been a Fairtrade Town for nearly one year now and our Primary school has just received Fairtrade school status.
The Dunbar Fairtrade group has been together for over two years, helping to raise awareness of Fairtrade issues and promote the use of Fairtrade goods.
‘Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices, Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.’
We are looking to encourage more people to join our group, to come along to our meetings (3 to 4 per year) or to join our emailing list to keep up with our events and activities and be able to join in or come along when possible.
If you would like to join in or come along our next meeting is,
Tuesday 3 Sept, 7pm, at the Be Green office, West Port, Dunbar
or to be on our emailing list please contact Jo at jopoet@btinternet.com
