On Friday Oval Councillors Jack Hopkins and Jane Edbrooke met young people from Lilian Baylis Technology School to accept a petition to the Council calling on it use more Fair Trade and discuss their campaign.
As part of their work on civic activity the students have formed a committee and are looking for ways to encourage the use of Fair Trade products in Lambeth.
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world – and is especially relevant in Lambeth where we are privileged to have such a diverse population, many of whom have roots in South America, Asia and Africa.
Jack and Jane will be handing the petition to the Council and have offered their support to their campaign.
