Local MP Caroline Dinenage is calling on Gosport to take a step for Fairtrade.
In support of Fairtrade Fortnight, Caroline will join Gosport Fairtrade Action at their stall in Gosport Town Hall this Wednesday (7th). Now the Gosport MP is urging local residents to come down to the stall, between noon and 2pm tomorrow, to learn more about the benefits of Fairtrade.
Speaking before the event, Caroline said:
"The Fairtrade movement has had a huge impact in disadvantaged areas across the world. I'm now calling on Gosport's residents to come down to the Town Hall tomorrow to hear how small changes to their purchasing habits can have a massive impact on people's lives".
Gosport Fairtrade Action, who work hard throughout the year to maintain Gosport's status as a Fairtrade Borough, will be running the information stall from 12 noon -2pm each day this week. Their work helps to support the Fairtrade movement through the world, which promotes fair prices for commodities, financial independence and equality for female producers.
