Here in Hampstead we�ll be running a special stall on Sunday 7th March to celebrate the end of Fairtrade Fortnight but before that take a look at what else is going on.
The Big Swap
For this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight they=re asking the nation to join in The Big Swap. For two whole weeks swap your usual stuff for Fairtrade stuff. Your usual bananas for Fairtrade bananas, your usual cotton socks for Fairtrade cotton socks, and your usual cuppa for a Fairtrade cuppa. This means that every time you go shopping, you can use your wallet to make a stand. We want one million and one swaps made!

This then is the home of all things swap, a hub for all your swapping needs. It tells you how to get involved, what you can swap and most importantly, how to register them. Because we need lots of swaps made. One million and one in fact. Every swap will be proof that the people of the UK want producers in the developing world to get a fairer deal.
You can find The Big Swap on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr
