History of the Campaign

The future (2011 and beyond)

In the future the committee will be concentrating on finding out which organisations, businesses, cafes, restaurants, pubs, hotels, etc. within Eastleigh Borough are already serving Fairtrade tea, coffee and other Fairtrade goods. We also want to find out which local stores are stocking such goods for people to buy. Once we have met the minimum Fairtrade Borough criteria we can then apply for Fairtrade status.

We hope to have a Fairtrade in Eastleigh Borough stand at various local community events and engage more effectively with known Fairtade supporters. We also want to broaden our supporter base across all sectors of our local community and across all faith and no faith groups. If we can get more people who are prepared to do practical tasks for the Campaign, we can then become more proactive and engage with schools, colleges, organisations and businesses who are not currently serving Fairtrade goods.
