Harrogate Fairtrade Campaign

Our mission is to make Harrogate a Fairtrade Borough during 2006.

This means that during 2006 we will have fulfilled the required 5 Goals. To achieve this we will need help and support throughout the district.

To become a Fairtrade Borough these 5 goals must be met:

• The local council must pass a resolution supporting Fairtrade, and serve Fairtrade coffee and tea at its meetings and in offices and canteens.
• A range of Fairtrade products must be readily available in the area’s shops and served in local cafés and catering establishments (targets are set in relation to population)
• Fairtrade products must be used by a number of local work places (estate agents, hairdressers etc) and community organisations (churches, schools etc)
• The council must attract popular support for the campaign
• A local Fairtrade steering group must be convened to ensure continued commitment to Fairtrade Town status.

Please look around our website and if you would like to get involved with making Harrogate a Fairtrade borough either contact us or just as your shops to start stocking fair trade items.
