Welcome to the campaign website to make Camberley a Fairtrade Town

Fairtrade is an internationally recognised scheme which guarantees producers in developing countries a fair price for their produce.

The 'Fairtrade Town' scheme is run by the Fairtrade Foundation and aims to promote Fairtrade by encouraging local Councils and shops to use and promote Fairtrade products.

Despite backing from community leaders including the Surrey Chambers of Commerce, Surrey Heath churches and the Camberley Society not a single Conservative Borough Councillor voted in favour of the scheme!

We are not asking the Council to commit to significant extra funds or an unreasonable amount of work just to take some easy straight-forward steps to begin working towards 'Fairtrade Town' status. If you support Fairtrade please sign our online petition below...
We, the undersigned, call upon Surrey Heath Borough Council to work towards making Camberley part of the Fairtrade Foundation's 'Fairtrade Town' scheme.

Campaign News Update

On 9th December 2006, Lib Dem Councillors Fran Bennie and Bob Smith ran a tombola stall at the Heatherside Christmas Fayre to  promote Fairtrade 4 Camberley.

Thanks to everyone who played. The lucky ones won Fairtrade products or wine and spirits and the stall was a great success.
