We are a group of local people who are committed to promoting the benefits of fair trade in Banbury and its surrounding area.
Our Aim
There are a number of key things we would like to do:
* inform people locally about fair trade
* encourage people to buy fair trade products
* encourage more local retailers to supply fair trade products
* persuade local organisations and businesses to switch to using fair trade products
Banbury achieved Fairtrade Town status in March 2006. This means that Banbury Town Council serves fairly traded coffee and tea at its meetings, offices and canteens. It promotes awareness of fair trade through its publicity channels. The town council is represented on the Banbury Fairtrade Town Steering Group.
