A steering group was established in May 2006 with the aim of Uphall becoming a Fairtrade Village. On 10th March 2007, Uphall officially became a Fairtrade Village.
Below is some information about Fairtrade :
What's Fairtrade ?
Fairtrade products aim to strengthen the economic position of disadvantaged producers in the developing world. Many small farmers don't earn enough to feed their families, send their children to school and invest in sustainable development.
The Fairtrade label is awarded to products that meet internationally recognised standards of fair trade.
What Can I Do ?
Buy and use fairly traded goods whenever you can. Every single time you go shopping you make a difference to someone's life. If you buy Fairly Traded products you can be sure that this is a positive difference. If you don't buy Fairly Traded Products you have no idea what the impact is. It really is that simple.
