BlankHello! This is the first edition of the Fair Trade Wales newsletter. 2007 should see the Fair Trade Wales campaign making a huge impact across the...
I think it's very important in all events, talks etc. to get over the idea that it is perfectly possible to sell Fair Trade products that do not carry the...
The website and newsletter are great. Let's hope Wales can become the first Fairtrade Country! Good luck - I'm really sorry that I don't have relatives there...
I also say that it's possible to buy other ethically traded products (I avoid the term 'fair trade' because in speech it's hard to distinguish from fairtrade...
Hi Mark Well done on this! I work for Shared Interest in Newcastle upon Tyne, but I come from Anglesey in North Wales originally, I will of course be sending...
Jeannette / Sue - Many thanks for your responses. I agree that it's important to explain the distinction between Fairtrade and Fair Trade. Our campaign is...
Hi Thought I would add my best wishes too, as I lived in mid-Wales during my formative years in the 1970s! Still have a few friends in Wales, so will pass the...
Hi everyone, I'll try to track down this graph. Meredith ... I got from a PowerPoint presentation produced by the Foundation, showing the fluctuations of the...
I've been given a fantastic opportunity to promote Fairtrade at a Christmas fair locally - upwards of 600 people expected through the door. I've been asked to...
I find a 100g jar of 5065 lasts me about a fortnight which, estimating roughly, is probably about 80 cups. It's going to depend how strong you make it. No idea...
What about one of the catering tins? Don't know how many cups that makes either mind you but it saves you having multiple jars! I'm too far away to help but...
I understand your concern - I'm not happy with this either as the one word/two words distinction isn't that memorable except to those of us very aware of...
Good morning all I work for a fair trade finance company in Newcastle upon Tyne called Shared Interest, we are a membership co=operative with 8,400 uk based...
I will be out of the office starting 05/12/2006 and will not return until 07/12/2006. I will reply to your message on Thursday Jackie Oxfam works with others...
Many thanks to all who responded. Cafedirect have been amazingly helpful, local university students are helping and I'm sure it's all going to work out. ...
hi everyone, i have found a coffee graph that might be useful but unfortunately can't figure out how to attach it. If you'd like a copy of this (its in a...
Jackie - it's a long time since you sent this - but I have just been into Whitakers here in Bolton - and discovered they are offering Fairtrade tea and coffee....
Hi everyone, I just wanted to make you aware of the Sheila McKechnie Awards 2007. Campaigners across the UK can apply for a Sheila McKechnie Award. Awards are...
I would like to think the F/T Foundation know all about it but I juist wish they would be a little quicker at communicating with us on the front line! Come on...
Reading that the Traidcraft retail price for 500g 5065 is £12.95 makes me glad that on our Stoke-on-Trent F/T City Directory I included the paragraph: The...
Please note that ethical trade only looks at labour standards. Fairtrade, fair trade and fairly traded products are much more than ethical products. The fair...
Hi everyone, We're working as hard as we can here. I assure you. I sent a message about the global journey out to the yahoo groups about 8 weeks ago but I had...
This is a really good idea - yet another one I'll copy! I'm glad this came just as I'm starting to put our 2007 directory together. Our usual example is...
This is useful but I also hear 'ethical trade' used to refer to environmental standards - in fact 'ethical' can mean whatever we like and different people will...
This is the reason I use Fairtrade and fair trade, because even if the distinction between the two is tricky, most people understand "fair". Ethical is one...
Thanks for this info. Jim. Sadly Beales in Ealing still do not seem to have anything Fairtrade on offer. I will now contact the manager there again and see...
