This morning I chaired the latest meeting of the #Hinckley and #Bosworth #Fairtrade Forum (@LE10Fairtrade.)
A very positive and productive meeting; including early planning for #FairtradeFortnight 2019! (Cc @FairtradeUK)

NEW!: #Fairtrade campaigners in #Loughborough are busy preparing for their Fair Trade Fayre which takes place a week on Saturday, at the Baptist Church.
It's set to be a fantastic occasion, with a range of quality goods available to purchase.
A great pre-#Christmas occasion!
Our Chair @HulbertMathew just e-mailed out the minutes of the Forum's last meeting and the agenda for our next. If you have a passion for helping Developing World farmers and doing so via #Fairtrade, please do join us.

It's #Proud2B social group session day! If you live in #Hinckley and #lgbt or any Ally, come along to @StMarysHinckley Community Hall between 4pm and 5:30pm for a chat, information and advice ... and a cuppa! @PoliceHinckley @hinckandbos_bc
#FairtradeFortnight Day Seven: There was a focus on #Fairtrade at this morning's service at @StMarysHinckley. Our Chair @HulbertMathew talked about our work locally and the impact our decisions as shoppers can have-for good and ill-on Developing World producers. #Hinckley
#FairtradeFortnight Day Three: Today our Chair @HulbertMathew celebrated his birthday with a special #Fairtrade tasting session at @GWCbarwell. Thanks to the good people at @HECoopCommunity for providing the delicious goodies. A lovely time was had by all! #Barwell
#FairtradeFortnight Day One: Today there is a #Fairtrade stall on #Hinckley market, on Castle Street. So, why not pop along and see our Rosemary and buy yourself some lovely Fairtrade items? (Cc @FairtradeUK, @hinckleytimes)
A fantastic preview-in The @hinckleytimes-of events being held in #Hinckley and #Bosworth over the next two weeks to celebrate #FairtradeFortnight. There's lots to do, enjoy and take part in. Don't feed exploitation. Instead, come on in...choose #Fairtrade!
Today is the first day of #FairtradeFortnight! As consumers we have immense power. We can either choose to feed exploitation or, as I know we will, to ensure Developing World farmers, growers and miners get paid a fairer wage. So, come on in...choose #Fairtrade!
