BUYING Fairtrade can help communities in the developing world get a fair deal - fair rates of pay and fair terms and conditions. Fairtrade Fortnight which starts this week, highlights the issues faces by farmers and workers and alerts us as to how we can help them.

This year the theme is putting Fairtrade into your break - thinking carefully about the coffee, tea or other products that you buy and looking for the Fairtrade logo.

Bradford district is throwing its weight behind the campaign, staging events in various locations.
