As part of Fairtrade Fortnight, I met with Fairtrade Sutton at Waterstones today to talk about this year's campaign.
They campaign to promote Fairtrade, encouraging businesses to sell Fairtrade products and customers to buy them and above all to ensure that Sutton continues to have Fairtrade Borough Status. Their renewal application to the Fairtrade Foundation was successful last year.
Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 is all about chocolate and a campaign for a living income for cocoa growers, particularly women in Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana and Sierre Leone where most cocoa is grown.
I was delighted to play my part in supporting this year's campaign.
