Trafford's Fairtrade Borough status renewed
Thanks to the continuing efforts of Trafford Council, its partners and a committed group of volunteers, the Borough has had its application to the Fairtrade Foundation to retain its Fairtrade status approved.
Trafford continues to promote the significant benefits of continuing to support the Fairtrade ethics.
Corporate Director of Environment, Transport and Operations, Peter Molyneux, said the efforts of local retailers, businesses and other organisations, together with cafes, restaurants and public houses has developed over the last 12 months.
"Securing Fairtrade status last year was always seen as the start of a continuing effort. By buying Fairtrade goods and promoting Fairtrade ethics, people are helping support producers worldwide.
To see so many people embracing Fairtrade is exciting. To have retained our status is testament to everyone involved. This hasn't just been retailers and businesses, a number of our local schools have been awarded Fairtrade School status and churches also sell Fairtrade goods."
An internet-based guide to buying Fairtrade goods has been developed, advertising organisations and establishments that support Fairtrade in Trafford by selling, providing or promoting a fair deal for developing countries to their customers, staff or residents.

Our group of volunteers has worked hard with Sharman Frost from Trafford Council and other partners to achieve this result.
