One Hull of a Fairtrade City
Hull Fairtrade City has been going from strength to strength in the past year. The Fairtrade Steering Group has been successfully relaunched and the city has had its Fairtrade City status renewed with glowing comment from the Fairtrade Foundation.
Hull Fairtrade City enjoys the support of Hull and East Yorkshire Community Foundation, Hull City Council, Hull and East Riding Greenshare Network and the University of Hull.
Coordinator of Fairtrade Hull, Nigel Mills was delighted by the group’s success. Last year Hull welcomed Fairtrade banana farmer, Aimeth from Columbia, with a school summit at Malet Lambert School and an event at the University of Hull which was attended by the Lord Mayor. The status renewal form details many exciting plans for the next two years which should see Fairtrade Hull go up to the next level.
