The Big Swap

Fairtrade Fortnight is approaching so get ready for The Big Swap.

Between 22nd February and 7th March, the Fairtrade Foundation is urging people across the country to swap as many items as possible in their shopping basket for Fairtrade versions.

There are loads of fantastic fair trade products to choose from. Join The Big Swap and help to ensure that growers and producers in developing countries are getting a fair deal.

The focus of this year’s campaign is tea. Why not hold a mad hatter’s tea party, organise afternoon tea for parents, or start a ‘flask’ mob in the school yard?

Check out SCIAF’s new Fairtrade page (coming soon) which is crammed with facts, figures and downloadable resources.

A wide array of posters, top tips and a selection of Fairtrade Fortnight merchandise (including giant inflatable tea cups) are also available to download at www.thebigswap.org.uk or order online at www.fairtrade.org.uk/eshop.
