Stephen said: "We continue to be the only social lender willing to finance almost three-quarters of smaller, more vulnerable groups and co-operatives in our Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa portfolio. As members, we all have our small part to play in assisting the Society closer to its goals."

We believe teaching children about the concept of fairness, sustainability and fair trade is as important as it has ever been.
Our Little Book of Fairness is a free, fun and inspiring booklet for children which introduces the concept of fair trade and sustainability in an interactive way.
In the spirit of #InternationalCoffeeDay 2025, join us in collaborating for a fairer world.

Whether it’s the members of our Society, enabling a business in Peru to receive essential funds; or our Foundation, working with producers to build resilience and revenue in Rwanda; success in the fair trade ecosystem begins with collaboration.

The true power of the coffee sector lies in the unity of every individual within the supply chain — from producers to consumers. It is this collaboration that makes coffee a key part of the solution to equitable economic and social development.

Newcastle Fairtrade Partnership is working with Newcastle City Council to promote fair trade.
To mark Fairtrade Fortnight, the Partnership invites children, between the ages of 5 and 11, to show us what fair trade means to them - whether its their favourite fruit or the farmer that grows it.
There will be a range of stalls and activities, serving everything from cake to bric-a-brac. There will also be a tombola, a grand raffle, a bottle stall and Transform Trade’s Christmas card stall.
All event proceeds will be shared equally between Transform Trade and CAFOD’s Gaza Children’s appeal
This Saturday, St. Matthew’s Church in Ponteland are hosting the “Big Brew”, an inclusive community event to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight and raise money for good causes.
At the event, guests can sample delicious Fairtrade tea and coffee and find out about how Fairtrade works.
During Fairtrade Fortnight, every choice we make for fair trade is a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.
