Find Fairtrade choices across Wimborne and Colehill.

It is a local community initiative for Wimborne and Colehill. The purpose is to make Fairtrade easier to find, understand and support locally through outlet listings, community information, school activity, church and group involvement, and public awareness.

No. The website does not sell products directly. It helps people find local places where Fairtrade products or Fairtrade-related activity may be available, and it gives organisations a route to ask about being listed or updating their details.

A business can send an enquiry with its name, location, contact details and the Fairtrade products or activity it offers. The group can then review the information and update the local directory where appropriate.

Common starting points include tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, bananas, sugar, flowers, cotton and selected gift or hospitality products. The key point is whether the product carries recognised Fairtrade certification or is clearly connected to fairly traded sourcing.

Yes. Schools can use Fairtrade as a practical topic for assemblies, classroom discussion, geography, citizenship, food systems, ethics and campaign work. The contact form can be used to ask about learning ideas or Fairtrade Fortnight activity.

The original local directory focuses on names, locations and contact information rather than providing a usable logo file for every outlet. The redesigned site therefore uses clean text-based cards, avoiding invented branding or unsupported image links.

Local outlet information should be checked regularly because opening hours, stock, ownership and product ranges can change. The update route makes it easier for businesses and residents to report changes before information becomes stale.

Start by choosing Fairtrade when buying everyday products you already use, then ask local shops, cafés, workplaces or community venues whether they can stock or serve Fairtrade options more visibly.
