News - Cheddar Fairtrade Area

The task in making the Cheddar Valley into a Fairtrade Area is to meet the five goals set out below. In addition, this website will shortly list those Fairtrade products that are available in the Cheddar Valley area and where you can buy them.

• Local council passes a resolution supporting Fairtrade, and agrees to serve Fairtrade tea and coffee at its meetings and in its offices and canteens.
• A range of (at least two) Fairtrade products is readily available in the area’s shops and local cafés/catering establishments
• Fairtrade products are used by a number of local work places (estate agents, hairdressers etc) and community organisations (churches, schools etc)
• Attract media coverage and popular support for the campaign.
• A local Fairtrade steering group is convened to ensure continued commitment to its Fairtrade Town status
