Check out the Fairtrade display and 'guess how many Fairtrade eggs are in the jar' competition in the concourse this Green Week. By buying Fairtrade products we can support environmentally sustainable farming practices and fair wages for the people who grow our food.

Class 10 have enjoyed learning about Fairtrade and especially discovering where some products are grown. #RBPSGeography

This afternoon, our visitors from Chepstow Fairtrade Forum talked to all the children about the importance of paying global farmers and producers a fair price for their crops and how we can buy food in Wales knowing it’s been fairly traded.

🍬All next week - Fairtrade Committee student leaders, Alice & Liyana, will be selling Fairtrade Foundation sweets in the library over lunchtime 🍬

Amazing work Burgh Primary School!

Ever wondered how your Easter chocolate is made? 🌴

From harvesting to fermentation to drying, a huge amount of work goes into creating each delicious bar we consume 🍫

And when you choose Fairtrade cocoa, farmers receive a fair price for their hard work producing the crop ✊

We've launched a petition calling on the UK Government to ensure that incoming deforestation legislation does not push extra costs on farmers 🌲

We are also calling on the UK Government to deliver on their climate funding commitments 🌴

Make this Easter egg-stra special with Aldi Stores UK's first Fairtrade ruby egg 💎 🥚 🍫

The stunning, hand-decorated ruby chocolate geometric egg features dried raspberry pieces and is made with Fairtrade cocoa 🐰

In 2024, the Government has pledged to move forward with new deforestation laws.

But for farmers, meeting these laws will cost money.

By signing, you are calling on the Government to ensure that incoming legislation does not place the burden on farmers.
