This group formed during 2002 with the aim of promoting fairtrade in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. You can read our mission statement to find out more details of what we hope to achieve.

The Fairtrade mark

Have you heard of or seen the Fairtrade mark before? It is a simple system that guarantees the producers get a fair price for their produce and whose employees receive acceptable working conditions.

You can read more details on how Fairtrade started up by clicking on the UK fairtrade org web site.

In short, if you make a conscious decision to purchase a Fairtrade product you are effectively re-establishing a link between the consumer (you) and the producers.

By making a simple purchasing lifestyle change you and other Fairtrade purchasers can positively affect the lives of thousands of men, women and children around the globe. Start buying Fairtrade now if you want to make a difference - we do!
