FairtradeWe are proud to support Fairtrade

Fairtrade is about better prices, safe working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers.

Fairtrade works with over 400 businesses, from retailers and global brands to small businesses. Their experts offer services including certification, sustainable sourcing and supply chain strategy. 

The Dover district is a Fairtrade Community. This builds on the work of the Dover District Fairtrade Network; Dover and Deal have been accredited Fairtrade towns for a number of years. 

Where possible and in accordance with procurement rules, Fairtrade products are used at council-owned venues, council meetings and council-run events. Kearsney Café is Fairtrade accredited. The White Cliffs Country website provides information on which cafes, restaurants, and accommodation providers use Fairtrade products.
