What are Wigan Borough Co-Op Members Group doing to help?
We are currently working towards achieving official “Fairtrade Borough” status for the Wigan area. We are well on the way to achieving this, but there are some criteria we need to fulfill before this can be granted. One of the criteria is to produce a directory of 35+ shops and 17+ catering outlets that offer two or more Fairtrade products to their customers. We hope to publish the directory by the end of the year if we can encourage enough local businesses to “Order Up” Fairtrade! We are also encouraging local school, Churches and organisations to get involved as much as possible. Schools can hold themed assemblies or cover Fairtrade in lessons (see links page), speakers can visit groups to talk on the subject. Some churches now hold regular Fairtrade stalls and serve the tea and coffee.
