Fairtrade Fortnight gets bigger and better each year. This year tens of thousands of people will participate in the celebration. Order your resources now from the fairtrade foundation. Available in both Welsh and English! Great! In Wales we would like to invite everyone to
Fairtrade producer virtual tour - We will be linking up via video link to Fairtrade producers across the world during Fairtrade Fortnight. Check out our website to see if there’s an event in your area or get in contact if you would like to host a link up. We hope to be able supply equipment for you. NEW Fairtrade raisins from Afghanistan! - In line with the Fairtrade Foundation’s commitment to support the most disadvantaged producer groups, Fairtrade-certified raisins have now been launched in the UK. Areas hit by conflict are also hit by a huge reduction in their ability to produce things and sell them (especially internationally).This means the people are devastated not just by the conflict but also by serious poverty as their means of making a living are taken away. Fairtrade is aiming to bring back a market to these places. Although at the moment because of the security concerns the usual Fairtrade audit cannot take place and instead a process of local assessment fills the gap. For more information click here...
Our friends at the Fairtrade Foundation want YOUR help to ensure every Olympic catering purchase a winning one - Within the next few weeks, the first big wave of Olympic 2012 catering contracts will be awarded. Public pressure helped to ensure that all tea, coffee, sugar, bananas and chocolate snacks used in official Olympic catering will be Fairtrade. Now, as the actual contracts are awarded, we must make sure there is no backtracking from these commitments. And, importantly, we need to highlight the areas where we feel caterers could do more and encourage caterers to source Fairtrade products wherever product possible. Please show your support by signing the petition and by tweeting about it. |

Touring Fairtrade photography exhibition - To show us all just how beautiful Fairtrade cotton can be and how easy it is to swap your look to Fairtrade, celebrity photographer Trevor Leighton has photographed leading fashion models – including Ali Bastian and Lisa Snowdon – wearing part of a collection of Fairtrade cotton clothing from a range of retailers, most of which are available on the high street. Fair Trade Wales has booked a set of A1-size prints for June and part of July, so that any Fairtrade Groups can hold an exhibition for a day or three! If you would like to find out more about how you can host an exhibition please email steve@fairtradewales.com. Fair Trade in Welsh Tourism - We have been working on two tourism projects with Sheena Carlisle, University of Wales Cardiff (UWIC) and Diana James in partnership with The Wales Co-operative Centre. Sheena will be working on the research side of things and Diana will be working with more practical ways of embedding fair trade into the tourism industry. They may be in touch with you soon to discuss how they can help fair trade develop in your area. We are delighted that the Llandudno Fair Trade Group has been working with Visit Wales to try and get the local B&B’s to switch to Fairtrade - Well done and good luck! |

Jim’s Hot Fairtrade Tips! Happy new year all. I hope you had a really enjoyable holiday period. I was lucky enough to receive some really nice FT goodies from my thoughtful family. I had a wonderful FT coffee set from Boots, a FT hot chocolate set and a fab cookie jar with Traidcraft cookies. I have been, and still am, enjoying M+S FT Christmas coffee….. Already the Easter goodies are on our shelves with two for ones and one pound deals, very tempting, but many of them are from huge producers who show little or no commitment to FT. There are FT options available (Divine, Co-op, Oxfam) - often hard to find (try online), but remember you don’t have to buy eggs. There is a huge range of FT chocolate bars, boxed chocolates and don’t forget Cadbury’s buttons... Read on for some super bargains, ace new products and fab recommends...

Mae Pythefnos Masnach Deg yn ehangu ac yn gwella bob blwyddyn. Eleni bydd degau o filoedd o bobl yn cyfranogi yn y dathliadau. Archebwch eich adnoddau nawr oddi wrth Sefydliad Masnach Deg. Ar gael yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg! Gwych! Yng Nghymru, hoffem wahodd pawb i ymuno yn y gweithgareddau canlynol...
Ymgais i dorri record byd gyda baneri cotwm Masnach Deg - Mae’r Sefydliad Masnach Deg yn darparu pecynnau rhad ac o drionglau cotwm Masnach Deg, er mwyn i chi eu haddurno a’u troi’n stribedi o faneri. Dyma weithgaredd ardderchog i’w chynnal mewn ysgolion, neu beth am drefnu stondin addurno yn y dref ar gyfer y bobl sy’n pasio ar y stryd? Ar ôl defnyddio’r baneri i addurno eich digwyddiad, ysgol neu weithle yn ystod Pythefnos Masnach Deg gallwch eu hanfon at y Sefydliad Masnach Deg, a fydd yn cysylltu’r cyfan er mwyn curo’r record byd o 2,696 metr! Archebwch yma... Rhith daith cynhyrchwyr Masnach Deg - Byddwn yn cysylltu gyda chynhyrchwyr Masnach Deg ledled y byd drwy gyswllt fideo yn ystod Pythefnos Masnach Deg. Edrychwch ar ein gwefan i weld os oes digwyddiad yn eich ardal, neu i’n hysbysu os hoffech drefnu cysylltiad. Gobeithiwn fedru darparu offer ar eich cyfer. Rhesins Masnach Deg newydd o Afghanistan! - Yn unol gydag ymrwymiad Sefydliad Masnach Deg i gefnogi’r grwpiau cynhyrchwyr mwyaf difreintiedig, lansiwyd rhesins Masnach Deg yn y DU. Mae ardaloedd sy’n dioddef gwrthdaro hefyd yn cael eu taro gan ostyngiad enfawr yn eu gallu i gynhyrchu nwyddau a’u gwerthu (yn arbennig yn rhyngwladol). Golyga hyn fod pobl yn dioddef, nid yn unig yn sgil y gwrthdaro, ond hefyd yn sgil tlodi difrifol gan eu bod yn colli eu bywoliaeth. Mae Masnach Deg yn anelu at ailgodi’r farchnad yn y llefydd hyn. Serch hynny, yn sgil pryderon diogelwch ar hyn o bryd, nid oes modd cynnal yr archwiliad Masnach Deg arferol, ac yn hytrach mae proses o asesiadau lleol yn llenwi’r bwlch. Am fwy o fanylion cliciwch yma...
Mae ein cyfeillion yn y Sefydliad Masnach Deg angen eich cymorth CHI i sicrhau buddugoliaeth Olympaidd - O fewn yr ychydig wythnosau nesaf, bydd y don fawr gyntaf o gytundebau arlwyo Olympaidd 2012 yn cael eu dyfarnu. Cynorthwyodd pwysau cyhoeddus i sicrhau fod yr holl de, coffi, siwgr, bananas a siocled ar gyfer arlwyo swyddogol Olympaidd yn gynnyrch Masnach Deg. Nawr, wrth i’r cytundebau eu hunain gael eu dyfarnu, rhaid i ni sicrhau fod yr ymrwymiadau hyn yn cael eu gwireddu. Ac, yn bwysicach fyth, mae angen i ni dynnu sylw at feysydd lle’r ydym yn teimlo y gall arlwywyr wneud mwy, ac annog arlwywyr i ddefnyddio cynnyrch Masnach Deg lle bynnag y bo’n bosibl. Dangoswch eich cefnogaeth drwy arwyddo’r ddeiseb a thrwy drydar am y pwnc. |

Masnach Deg a Twristiaeth Cymru - Rydym wedi bod yn gweithio ar dau gynllun twrisiaeth gyda UWIC, Prifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd a Diana James mewn partneriaeth gyda Canolfan Cydweithredol Cymru.

Awgrymiadau Masnach Deg Jim! Blwyddyn newydd dda i bawb. Gobeithio i chi i gyd fwynhau cyfnod y gwyliau. Roeddwn yn ddigon lwcus i dderbyn rhoddion Masnach Deg hyfryd gan fy nheulu. Cefais set coffi Masnach Deg ardderchog o Boots, set siocled poeth Masnach Deg a jar bisgedi yn llawn bisgedi Traidcraft. Rwyf wedi bod yn mwynhau coffi Nadolig Masnach Deg M+S, ac rwy’n parhau i wneud hynny... Eisoes mae danteithion y Pasg ar ein silffoedd, gyda’r bargeinion dau am bris un neu bunt yn unig yn ymddangos yn atyniadol iawn, ond daw nifer ohonynt oddi wrth gynhyrchwyr enfawr sy’n dangos ymrwymiad prin iawn, os o gwbl, at Fasnach Deg. Mae dewisiadau Masnach Deg ar gael (Divine, Co-op, Oxfam) - yn aml yn anodd eu canfod (edrychwch ar-lein), ond cofiwch nad oes yn rhaid i chi brynu wyau. Mae ystod enfawr o fariau a bocsys siocledi Masnach Deg, a pheidiwch ag anghofio am y ’Cadbury’s buttons’... Darllenwch ymlaen am rai bargeinion arbennig, cynnyrch newydd ac argymhellion gwych...
