Wimborne secures Fairtrade status
Wimborne Minster has once again successfully secured its official Fairtrade town status.
John Spatchet, chairman of Wimborne and Colehill Fairtrade said: “The Wimborne and Colehill Fairtrade Steering Group are delighted to have successfully renewed our Fairtrade Community Status.
“We are thrilled that so many outlets in our communities support Fairtrade and we in turn are supporting farmers and producers in the developing world to get a fair deal and to operate sustainably, promoting Trade and Climate Justice.”
A spokesperson from the Fairtrade Communities Team who assesses the viability of applications said: “Every action taken on a local level adds to raising awareness of the issues of unfair trade and furthers the progress of workers’ rights, safer working conditions and fairer pay for farmers and workers globally.”
Fiona Harwood, chairperson of Wimborne BID said: “Businesses in Wimborne really support initiatives that promote a sustainable and fair future. A huge congratulations to the Fair Trade steering group of volunteers who work so hard to achieve this status for the town.”
