Fairtrade Fortnight 2024 will run from the 9th of September – 22nd of September. It's 30 years since Fairtrade products first hit the shelves and this year for Fairtrade Fortnight, we're spotlighting how YOU can Be The Change, by choosing Fairtrade every time.
Our goal is more than people just being aware, it’s about them encouraging an active choice to support over 2 million Fairtrade farmers and workers across 58 countries, wherever possible, to ensure they can earn a fairer wage.
This year’s campaign will highlight that however big or small a purchase this Fairtrade Fortnight, you have the power to #BeTheChange.
When you choose Fairtrade, you contribute to a fairer, more sustainable future for food production.
When you choose Fairtrade, you help ensure farmers receive a fairer price for what they grow.
When you choose Fairtrade, you help rebalance power in supply chains.
Taking a step further
Dear Lord,
 You call us to a neighbourly love
 That is generous in practical ways,
 That doesn’t leave by the roadside
 Those harmed by sin and greed
 But goes out of its way
 To bring healing.
 Help us to see
 How neighbours near and far
 Are suffering, their resources stolen
 By unjust people and systems.
 And fill us, we pray, with your Spirit,
 That we may be inspired
 To go further each day in using our gifts
 Of time and money and talent
 Lovingly
 In ways that redress injustice
 And renew life.
 Amen
