Celebrating 30 years of the Fairtrade Mark
Throughout 2024 we shall be seeking to celebrate 30 years of Fairtrade with activities and events in Gosport involving businesses, schools, churches, community groups and the Borough Council.
We have already met with our MP to explore links with businesses in Gosport (see Latest News).
Gosport Business Awards, 23 May.
We had a display and used the opportunity to network with the local businesses who had been nominated for an award:
GFA display about businesses using Fairtrade Products with Annelies James (right), of 22Midnight, who was one of the event organisers, and Andy Grant, (left) Principal of St Vincent College. The event was held in the Jervis Gallery at St Vincent College.
Fairtrade Fortnight will be 9 – 22 September, with the theme: “Be the Change”.
Plans include:
- Mayor of Gosport to host a Tea Party to celebrate 30 years of the Fairtrade mark.
- A Fairtrade Coffee morning with Fairtrade related activities (quizzes, games, displays and more) hosted by St. Mary’s Church, Alverstoke in the Parish Centre.
- Displays in the Discovery Centre; the Town Hall
- More to come – Contact us if you would like to host an event or a display or get involved in any way
