The Preston and South Ribble Fairtrade Group was formed from members of different groups who had joined together for action during Fairtrade Fortnight 2001. We coordinate Fairtrade activity throughout the year, particularly during Fairtrade Fortnight, and are the public face of Fairtrade in Preston and South Ribble.
Within the Preston and South Ribble area we aim to increase awareness of Fairtrade and encourage the use of fairly traded products. Fairtrade provides workers with a fair price for their products and decent working conditions. This is one of the most effective ways of fighting poverty in the developing world.
