Being an ethical sort of organisation we’re pulling out all the stops to support Fairtrade fortnight 2012, which starts today!

This means that we’re going to be encouraging YOU to take an extra step to suport those millions of people in developing countries that depend on farming but are trapped in poverty. By choosing to buy a fairtrade product you can help to offer farmers and workers fairer wages and safer conditions, plus invest in projects to improve their communities.
