Cambridge Fair Trade
Cambridge became a fair trade city in 2004, having fulfilled the five goals set by the Fairtrade Foundation.
The City Council passed a resolution (moved by yours truly), there is an active Fair Trade Steering Group which promotes fair trade via events such as stalls in the city market and at the Mill Road Winter Fair. We are currently embarking on a fact-finding tour of the city to update our records of what fair trade products can be bought in which shops.

Fair trade goods are used at various city companies and institutions, notably Ridgeons and Anglia Ruskin University. Cambridge University has a Fair Trade society. Fair trade shops and cafés are flourishing.

If you know of other fair trade shops, catering establishments or campaign groups, please let me know!
