Oldham a Fairtrade place

70% of the UK population now recognise the Fairtrade mark and I am proud that Oldham is part of this movement and is an official Fairtrade town. We acheived Fairtrade status in December 2007 after a huge amount of work from all sectors of the community.

Fairtrade makes a valuable contribution to improve the lives of workers in developing countries. We have done a lot already however ,I want to increase further the number of schools, workplaces and individuals supporting Fairtrade in our community.
