  Fairtrade in Swanage

Swanage is proud to be a Fairtrade Town                       

Swanage became a Fairtrade town in 2005. This was only made possible by the many shops, cafes, B&B`s and hotels who supply Fairtrade products. Also, many schools, churches, and community groups support Fairtrade too. We have ongoing support from Swanage Town Council, which is crucial in gaining Fairtrade status. To see the listings, pick up a free copy of the Purbeck Fairtrade Directory from the Information Centres and Libraries in Purbeck.

 For more information on Fairtrade locally contact Frances Ward on 01929 421968 or visit The Fairtrade Foundation website. www.fairtrade.org.uk
