Fairtrade and Fairtrade products
-
Fairtrade helps to ensure disadvantaged farmers and workers in developing countries are treated fairly and get a better deal for their products. Solihull is a proud supporter of Fairtrade and was awarded Fairtrade Borough status in September 2010.
More than 200 shops, businesses, faith groups, schools and community organisations in the borough are now serving or selling Fairtrade products such as tea, coffee, sugar, wine and cotton products. Download the Fairtrade and Local Food Directory for 2011-2012.
Whether you're after some clear conscience clothing, a cup of tea or coffee that's as fair as it is hot, or just want to get more Fairtrade products in your weekly shop, you'll find it in Solihull.
