**********************

Fairtrade ensures that small farmers in the developing world get a fair price for their produce. Carlisle One World Centre has played a leading role in the successful campaign to make Carlisle a Fairtrade City since March 2005. The Fairtrade City Steering Group oversees the running of the campaign and the renewal of Fairtrade city status every two years awarded by the Fairtrade Foundation. Recent highlights of the campaign include the successful Fairtrade Business Conference held on 27th February 2009, a Fairtrade INSET for local schools and two coffee mornings and events in Carlisle town centre which marked the "Go Bananas" campaign in Carlisle.

A Fairtrade guide to Carlisle has recently been updated to include cafes, shops, businesses and catering establishments where Fairtrade products are available.

We have recently set up a Facebook Group for Carlisle Fairtrade - please join us to view photos and exchange views on Fairtrade issues!

And don't forget to check out the new Hadrian's Wall site with its interactive map of Fairtrade shops, cafes, businesses, guest houses and schools along the Hadrian's Wall Fairtrade Corridor
