Today, Southwark celebrates achieving Fairtrade status! This means Southwark has satisfied the five conditions set down by the Fairtrade Foundation.
It’s the result of much hard work from politicians, council oficers and many volunteers and campaigners all concerned that Southwark should do its bit to help make sure that producers are paid a fair price for their goods and services.
It was fitting that the days celebrations started with a breakfast in East Dulwich’s own Bread of Life Fairtrade Cafe at Christ Church on Barry Road, which supplied so much of the inspiration and hard work for the campaign.
