Thank you to all APPG members and peers for your support at yesterday's AGM and your ongoing support for Fairtrade Foundation. We are especially grateful to Holly Lynch MP Jason McCartney MP for their continuing work as co-chairs, and it was great to discuss plans for next year's programme.
I am a proud supporter of Fairtrade Foundation 💙💚
The climate crisis is the biggest threat to millions of small-scale farmers worldwide
At COP26, Britain made promises to low-income countries regarding climate and trade. It's time to turn those promises into effective and fair action
I was delighted to once again support #FairtradeFortnight which raises awareness of growing challenges #climatechange brings to livelihoods of farmers & agricultural workers overseas who produce tea, coffee, cocoa & bananas Fairtrade Foundation
#throwback to #FairtradeFortnight when I attended a Fairtrade Foundation event at Westminster on March 1. I've written to the Foreign Secretary on behalf of constituents to ensure that small scale cocoa farmers are able to access promised funding
It was great to be able to support APPG for Fairtrade during #FairtradeFortnight at their drop in yesterday in Parliament.
Fairtrade plays a valuable role in supporting farmers in low income countries to respond to the environmental crises unfolding in their communities.
🌎This year's #FairtradeFortnight is focused on climate change, and the challenges faced by Fairtrade farmers globally.
I was proud to show my support alongside the APPG for Fairtrade earlier today.
Climate promises must become actions.
