Newcastle is a Fairtrade City
When Newcastle became a Fairtrade City in 2003 we were one of the first cities in the country to achieve this, and we have kept up our status ever since. A Fairtrade City is a city which has made a commitment to support and promote Fairtrade, which has a partnership set up with members from the local council, businesses, community and voluntary sector organisations and individuals working together. Here’s some more information about it: Newcastle is a Fairtrade City! on Biteable.
Fairtrade City status is awarded by the Fairtrade Foundation, which is the UK member of Fairtrade International (FLO) which is the standard setting and certification organisation for Fairtrade The Fairtrade Foundation has a wealth of information on its website here.
