Fairtrade needs your help!

We need your help! Trafford are working towards achieving Fairtrade Borough Status with the Fairtrade Foundation, this requires a portfolio of events, promotions, and media coverage to be compiled in order to evidence the support that is happening in the borough, therefore we need organisations, faith groups, community groups, businesses, and educational establishments to support us by contributing to the portfolio.
Please support our bid for Trafford to become a Fairtrade Borough. Contact Sharman Frost on 0161 912 4645, Basil Wakefield on 962 3243, or log on to http://www.traffordismyplanet.com/ for further information on Fairtrade page.
