To celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight 2024, Causeway Coast and Glens Fairtrade Group is running the Fairtrade Café Awards.
Fairtrade Fortnight runs from Monday 9th September – Sunday 22nd September and this year marks 30 years since Fairtrade products were first made available to consumers.
Fairtrade supports over 2 million farmers in 58 countries and helps ensure they are paid fairly, with their 2024 campaign highlighting, “That however big or small a purchase this Fairtrade Fortnight, you have the power to #BeTheChange.”
To vote for your favourite Fairtrade café in the Borough (those stocking at least two Fairtrade products) email the name and location of the café you want to vote for to: Fairtrade@causewaycoastandglens.gov.uk
Voting closes Monday 30th September and Council is encouraging as many people as possible to vote.

When you buy Fairtrade products you are ensuring that thousands of producers in 58 developing countries are paid a fair price, you’re supporting workers to build classrooms, employ nurses, educate their children, adapt to climate change and invest in a better life.
