Now, we aim to reinvigorate our efforts and raise awareness about Fairtrade in the community and businesses. Join us for a public meeting and discover how you can participate. Help promote Fairtrade through events, talks in schools, and outreach to local businesses. Your involvement, no matter how small, can make a difference in sustaining Fairtrade in Aylesbury.
