Fairtrade Fortnight

Mon 22 September – Sunday 5 October 2025

For two weeks each year thousands of individuals, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks, mine our gold and who grow the cotton in our clothes, people who are often exploited and underpaid.

This year, join us in urging everyone to pick up Fairtrade products and speak up for fairer trade.  Join us in spreading a simple message: making the small switch to Fairtrade supports producers in protecting the future of some of our most-loved food and the planet.

Support Fairtrade

This Fairtrade Fortnight, whoever you are, there are many simple actions you can ​take to make the trade system fairer – leading to a fairer world for all who rely on it.

Over these fourteen days we’ll be asking each of you to Do it Fair. We’ll be celebrating the difference we can all make when we choose Fairtrade and campaign as part of a UK-wide movement calling for a fairer system behind the things we consume every day.​

With the world in a tailspin,​ fairness isn’t a given.​ But the power to get there is in our hands.​ Together, our actions can have a positive impact​ on real people’s lives.​ Fairer pay. Fairer treatment. Fairer futures.​ That’s Fairtrade.​ It’s not just a label – it’s a movement.​ So, whatever you do,​ and however you do it:​ Do it Fair.

Lord God,
In the fields of the poor
Even when abundant fruits ripen,
Injustice sweeps them away,
And families hunger.
Help us to share
The fruits of your bounty
So that all your family may benefit
From your gracious gifts.
Amen.

Based on Proverbs 13:23

Did you know?

Coffee, bananas and chocolate could soon be much more difficult to buy.

Climate change is making crops like these harder and harder to grow. Combined with deeply unfair trade, communities growing these crops are being pushed to the brink.

But here’s the good news

More people choosing Fairtrade means extra income, power and support for those communities.

By making the small switch to Fairtrade, we can all support producers in protecting the future of some of our most-loved food and the planet.
