Fairtrade Fortnight
Sustainable Wales and SUSSED are holding several fun events for Fairtrade Fortnight 2023. Free Fairtrade chocolate samples are available at SUSSED throughout the fortnight…
Fairtrade Fortnight this year will highlight the urgent threat to the future of the foods we love and the livelihoods of the people who grow them, as they face the worst effects of the climate crisis. Without our support for fairer prices today, farmers will find it even harder to tackle the climate and economic challenges of the future.
At our community run ethical shop, SUSSED in James St. Porthcawl; in the afternoon of Saturday March 11th, Sustainable Wales new Young people’s climate group are presenting stalls and activities at the bandstand.
Also on Saturday 11th, we will be running a Fairtrade coffee, tea and cake cafe, above SUSSED
Teas & Coffees with Homemade Cakes using Fairtrade ingredients - pay what you can afford or support with a donation towards Fairtrade activity.
