Fair Trade for All

Airads prepares a special message for "Fair Trade" over Canterbury and Herne Bay, sponsored by the CO-OP.

A series of events are being held to mark the award of Fairtrade town status to Guildford, Sevenoaks and Canterbury, which was the UK's 150th Fairtrade Town, held a celebration in the cathedral on Saturday.

Also in Kent, children in Sevenoaks contributed poems to a celebration held at the council offices.
Towns or cities are granted Fairtrade status after meeting five criteria set out by the Fairtrade Foundation.
