We hit our #Crowdfunder target of £12k! Thanks so much to the 50+ supporters. We still have until Friday to boost this so please, if you can, help us do things like provide food for local food banks as well as enabling producers to develop new products bit.ly/3M9kELi

You did so well! Thanks for coming 😊
A very big thank you and well done to the children of @stjohnthebapps Primary School who spoke so well @ScotParl last night, sharing their thoughts with children in a Fair Trade farming community in Malawi about the importance of Fair Trade. 😊

As major floods hit southern Malawi the growers of our Kilombero #FairTrade Rice in the North have had 9 weeks without rain devastating their crop and their main food source, Maize. Pictures from rice farmer Howard Msukwa. Help by buying some rice bit.ly/3K3oDcB
