We are seeking sustain Colchester's commitment to Fairtrade. Our campaign is maintaning its momentum and we can always use more help.
- We need volunteers to contact local retailers and encourage them to stock and sell Fairtrade products.
- We need people to ask for Fairtrade products in restaurants and cafes.
- We need pupils and teachers in schools to promote Fairtrade in canteens
- We need people to talk about Fairtrade to their employers and push for the use of Fairtrade products in canteens.
- We need help in raising public awareness of Fairtrade through media work and publicity events
- We need people to talk with their friends and help them see the benefits of Fairtrade products.
- We need more people to come to our campaign meetings and get involved (see the events diary for dates)
- We need you to buy Fairtrade goods and make the difference.
- We need modest amounts of money to cover the costs of literature and the direct expenses of running the Colchester Fairtrade campaign. We are all unpaid volunteers. If you can spare a few grand, we would be terribly grateful, not to say gob-smacked. Smaller sums also help.
