Special events in Cambridge to celebrate and promote Fairtrade.

Throughout the fortnight

Go bananas

Cambridge University Fairtrade Steering Group

This student led group is running lots of internal events during Fairtrade Fortnight including Fairtrade football, pancake stalls, formal dinners and speakers events.

Emmanuel United Reform Church Fairshares Café, Trumpington Street
This year the theme of Fairtrade Fortnight is ‘Go Bananas’ so the URC’s Fairshares Cafe has added a special selection of ‘banana’ dishes to their menu, including Banana cake, Banana split and Banana smoothies.

Please do pop in during the fortnight for a banana-flavoured treat!

Open 10:30am – 3:00pm Tues – Fri.

Anglia Ruskin University

Staff and students will have the opportunity to enter the Go BANANAS challenge, try Fairtrade snacks, buy Fairtrade clothing, play with Fairtrade footballs and find out what Fairtrade is all about, with Oxfam, Cambridge World Development Movement and Wombat (Fairtrade clothing).
