Our next Fairtrade Fortnight will be from Monday 9 September – Sunday 22 September 2024.
2024 is our 30th birthday, so we want to use the occasion to highlight how 30 years of working together has made the FAIRTRADE Mark a leader of life-changing impact for farmers and workers across the world.
The headline news is that our Fairtrade Fortnight 2024 will be moving to September as part of our year-long milestone celebrations. This will give us more time to make the most of the activities and awareness around the campaign.
Throughout 2024, there will be lots of opportunities to get involved with our activities, and we’ll be keeping you in touch with more details.
We know you’ll want to join us in celebrating the significant impact that the FAIRTRADE Mark has had in the world, and thank you for all your incredible support and contributions.
