Help us make Bristol the UK's top Fairtrade City!
The Bristol Fairtrade Network is an umbrella organisation for local volunteers and businesses who support Fairtrade. We aim to promote Fairtrade in Bristol by running events and campaigns in schools and the community, to improve the lives of producers in developing countries.
Our Bristol Fairtrade Directory lists all the retail Fairtrade suppliers in Bristol. We've also got a wholesale Fairtrade directory. We're running the amazing 2010 Fairwear Fairtrade fashion show. Local organisations who use Fairtrade can be shown and listed on our Fairtrade listings.
