Fairtrade Committee

In Glasgow, Scotland, many primary schools participate in Fairtrade initiatives, aiming to educate pupils about fair trade principles and promote ethical consumption. We have a Fairtrade Committee that organise activities, raise awareness, and works towards becoming an officially recognised Fairtrade School.

We participate in Fairtrade Fortnight by organising special events, activities, and awareness campaigns. Fairtrade Fortnight is an annual event that highlights Fairtrade and encourages people to choose Fairtrade products.

By promoting Fairtrade, schools encourage pupils to make conscious choices about the products they buy and consume.

This includes buying Fairtrade tea, coffee, sugar, and other products for school events and incorporating Fairtrade ingredients into cooking activities. Our school uniform (available through BE Uniforms) is made from fairtrade cotton – something we are very proud of!
