Fairtrade Fortnight - February 22 to March 7, 2010

Wolverhampton is celebrating Fairtrade Fortnight from February 22 to March 7 this year with a number of Big Brew and other events to encourage people to switch to Fairtrade products.

The Big Brew is a new campaign which will try to encourage schools, churches and places of work to host Fairtrade tea parties in support of a very specific aim which is to call on the UK’s major tea firms to commit to making some of their products Fairtrade.
