Fairtrade Fortnight 2026
This Fairtrade Fortnight, we are invited to think about the people behind the products we buy and to support farmers and workers around the world. Why not look out for the Fairtrade mark when shopping and choose Fairtrade tea, coffee, chocolate and other products where possible?
As a church, we can make a small difference through the choices we make every day. Let’s support fairer prices, better working conditions and a more sustainable future for communities worldwide.
