St Andrews Fairtrade Town Campaign

Welcome to the St Andrews Fairtrade Town Campaign. The St Andrews Fairtrade Town Campaign aims to promote awareness of fair trade and to encourage a constant increase in the supply of and demand for Fairtrade products.

We publish the St Andrews Fairtrade Directory of cafés and restaurants, accommodation and shops in St Andrews where Fairtrade products are available, and of workplaces and community organisations which have pledged to support Fairtrade.

Fairtrade Fortnight 2012 ran from 27th February to 11th March. In St Andrews there were several events. There was a competition 'Step out for Fairtrade', which was won by a member of Hope Park and Martyrs Church Sunday School. The Town Campaign Group and the University Fairtrade Steering Group held an event in the Student's Union which was addressed by Abu Kamal, a Palestinian olive farmer a supplier of Zaytoun olive oil. Many churches such as Cameron Kirk had fairtrade baking with coffee.
