We have been supporting Fairtrade for several years and have learnt what difference it makes for world\u2019s most vulnerable communities by making farming viable and generating vital economic benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Fairtrade Fortnight is a two-week campaign aiming to get shoppers, campaigners and businesses in the UK talking, thinking about and buying Fairtrade, members of the group donated a variety of Fairtrade products which were distributed amongst themselves at the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on becoming a Soroptimist please email the group<\/p>\n<p>torquaydistrictsi@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-675\" src=\"\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-1-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fairtrade 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-1.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-676\" src=\"\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-2-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"Fairtrade 2\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-2-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-2.jpg 289w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-677\" src=\"\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-3-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Fairtrade 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-3-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/torquay-and-district\/files\/2016\/03\/Fairtrade-3.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Torquay &amp; District Soroptimist International in support of Fairtrade Fortnight 2016, watched&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>2016 IN SUPPORT OF FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT - sit down for breakfast, stand up for farmers! | News | Blog | Events | SI Torquay and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Torquay and District : Blog &amp; News : 2016 IN SUPPORT OF FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT - sit down for breakfast, stand up for farmers! : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Torquay and District .
