Keswick Fairtrade have set the theme for this year's celebration fortnight as "TAKE A STEP"!
They explain that a step can be anything you do to support Fairtrade, no matter how small. Even from swapping your sugar to Fairtrade or to hosting your own chocolate tasting event! They encourage you to tell a neigbour or workmates to take a 'step'. Once the step is complete they encourage you to go to www.fairtrade.org.uk to register your 'step'.
The aim for the whole of the Fairtrade movement is to try and get 1.5 million 'steps' by the end of 2012. Each step supports farmers and workers to take their own steps towards a brighter future. A step can be anything you do to support Fairtrade. The more products we buy the more producers are helped. It has a 'win win' effect all round!
