With thousands of Fairtrade products now available in the UK from the staples; bananas, coffee, chocolate, tea to the more unusual; flowers, bedding, gold – always choose Fairtrade and if you can’t find it in store, ask why, to show that there is a growing demand for Fairtrade products.

Since the FAIRTRADE Mark first appeared 30 years ago, campaigners like you have been making their mark too. You are a big part of the reason almost 5,000 Fairtrade products are available today, that over 90 per cent of people recognise the FAIRTRADE Mark and politicians have to take fair trade issues seriously.
And we still need you. Sign our Make Your Mark pledge to commit to one of three practical ways to stand with farmers taking on a rigged global trade system and fighting for a fairer future.
The Make Your Mark campaign highlights the work of six Fairtrade farmers and ambassadors from all around the world, who are using the extra income and support Fairtrade offers to deliver real change in their communities. From strengthening women’s rights to protecting the local environment and building sustainable businesses.
Sign our Make Your Mark pledge today to make a practical commitment to support the vital work of these Fairtrade farmers and workers.

This month my right shoulder is still very painful and I have struggled to record this vlog and type this blog.
I finally managed to record videos for my Six Items Challenge 2024 and upload them to my YouTube Channel.
