Win a Hamper Full of Fairtrade Goodies

Posted by Jon - 21 February 2018

As you know, we are proud supporters of the Fairtrade Foundation. When we decided to run a competition and give away some Fairtrade products, we reached out to our fellow Fairtraders and they responded magnificently.  Just look at these four hampers - ready for you to win!

 

We were originally slightly overwhelmed with the generosity shown, but then again, we shouldn’t really be surprised.  After all, to be licensed to use the Fairtrade logo means that we have all made a commitment to the well-being of others. 

We are incredibly grateful to all the companies, large and small, artisan and international, that made this competition possible.  Please take a moment to read about them - there are some amazing stories.  Click on their logos to visit their websites for further information and how to buy their products.

Rawr Chocolate was born out of wanting a chocolate without naughty sugars and additives. Fans of the brand care about their health, yet love treating themselves to the good things in life.  Rawr are passionate about ethical and sustainable trading, which is why they use Fairtrade cacao.

The Raw Chocolate Company was founded in 2006 by chocolate wizard Linus Gorpe.  He set out on a mission to make chocolate better for us, better for the growers, better for the environment and better for children.  He decided to explore what was possible with raw cacao and uses only Fairtrade cocoa and vanilla.

Tate and Lyle made their commitment to Fairtrade in 2008, which saw UK Fairtrade sugar sales rise from around £4.5 million to around £40 million in 2010.  Since then, they have supported many other farmers and organisations to become Fairtrade certified. Today, they source Fairtrade sugar from over 20,000 small scale cane farmers, in 14 different groups, in 4 countries - including Belize and Jamaica.

 

   

Honeystreet Handmade is a range of luxury bath and body products, made from pure ingredients that leave your skin feeling silky and pampered.  A family run business launched in 2014, they are proud to use over 50 products certified by Fairtrade including Fairtrade Sugar, Organic Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Cocoa Butter and Apricot Kernel Oil.

 

 

 

Waitrose became the first supermarket in the UK to exclusively sell Fairtrade bananas back in 2007, and, as a result, the number of ethically sourced bananas in the UK increased by 10%. Over the years they have continued to convert more lines to Fairtrade (Tea, Coffee, Wine, Sugar, Chocolate), ensuring a continued positive impact across a range of supply chains in many different countries.

 

   

Tropical Wholefoods started life importing sun-dried bananas and pineapples from Uganda in the 1990s and, for them, Fairtrade means more than just buying and selling Fairtrade fruits and nuts.  They also make their amazing Tropical Wholefood bars at their factory in Sunderland.
