Useful Links: Fairtrade Fortnight (September/October)

Fairtrade Fortnight is an annual campaign that promotes awareness of Fairtrade products and the importance of fair trading practices. It encourages consumers to support farmers and workers in developing countries by choosing products that ensure better prices, working conditions, and sustainability.

During the two-week event, schools, businesses, and communities take part in activities such as workshops, events, and campaigns to highlight how everyday purchases—like tea, coffee, chocolate, and bananas—can make a positive difference to people’s lives around the world.

Fairtrade Fortnight 2026 runs from 21 September to 4 October.

RISC coordinates a programme of events during Fairtrade Fortnight in Reading.
