Activities
Maintain momentum - Renewing Fairtrade Town status
Becoming a Fairtrade Town is an incredible achievement and represents a milestone on your areas’ Fairtrade journey, but is only the beginning! It is important that the campaign continues to gain momentum, obtain commitments from new organisations and increase understanding across the community.
Renewals are required one year after status is achieved and following that, once every two years.
Please continue to save all information about progress made around (or challenges faced!) around each of the Five Goals. Keep a file (preferably electronic) that details all the events held, commitments from new organisations, changes in catering and retail outlets and any other information you feel reflects the development of your campaign. Please complete and return the Fairtrade Towns Renewal Form to volunteer.towns@fairtrade.org.uk one year after your declaration event.
 | The Fairtrade Towns campaign is co-financed by a grant from the European Union. |
