Why buy Fairtrade?
For the farmers and workers behind all the products we use, the extra income and power they get when you choose Fairtrade has been especially important this year.
It has allowed them to do more to tackle the effects of Covid -19 in their communities and respond to the huge disruption the pandemic has brought.

To help celebrate the difference we can all make we would like to introduce our new Fairtrade loyalty card. Please print off the loyalty card found below and every time it is filled with Fairtrade logos (e.g. the stickers off a Fairtrade banana, a cut out from a chocolate wrapper) you can exchange it for a mini chocolate bar as a thank you from all of us at Bridge of Don Academy and Aberdeen for a Fairer World*.
Oh honey, honey, bless your heart, Oh honey that I love so well…
Who are you? We are Efftie and Fortunita, the City Fairtrade mascots. We live in the Bridge of Don with our scribe. She says she has been there since way before we were born “doing Fairtrade” and she doesn’t think she is very photogenic, but her hand’s in the picture.
What is your Fairtrade item? Equal Exchange Ulmo Blossom Honey.
Why? It’s raw honey and it’s the best scribe has ever tasted. Sadly, it’s not available in Bridge of Don shops, but you can buy it from the Ethical Superstore online.
* This will only be something we can offer within the UK due to delivery logistics. Please complete the information on the back of the card and your free bar will be sent out on receipt of your completed card. Completed cards to be scanned/photographed and emailed to afairerworld@btconnect.com.
