From discussions about trade justice and debate around the future of cotton to sipping Fairtrade cocktails and decorating Fairtrade cotton bunting, the Supporter Conference 2010 had something for everyone.

With over 350 people attending from campaign groups accross the country, there was plenty of opportunity to share experiences and top campaigning tips with much animated discussion in workshops and seminars about how the movement can continue to increase the impact of Fairtrade for farmers.

'...inspirational and enjoyable conference. I've learnt so much today and enjoyed listening to so many passionate and inspiring individuals', Emma Goulding, conference delegate
