Fairtrade Fortnight
Fill it with fairness for Fairtrade Fortnight.
Fairtrade Fortnight 2027 is on its way!
The countdown is on. From 20 September to 3 October 2027, we'll be celebrating Fairtrade Fortnight once again.
Until then, explore the highlights of Fairtrade Fortnight 2026 and look back at the incredible stories, actions and impact that brought our movement together. Thank you for being part of a community that puts fairness front and centre.
Fairtrade Fortnight 2026
From classrooms and community events to government buildings, festivals and business roundtables, Fairtrade Fortnight 2026 brought people together across the UK to champion fair pay for the people behind our food.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Cocoa farmer and teacher Dora Atiiga helped bring Fairtrade Fortnight into classrooms across the UK.
Through visits to schools, appearances at Eureka! and around 60 virtual assemblies, Dora shared her experiences of farming, climate change and fair pay with hundreds of young people. She also joined media interviews and public events, helping a new generation understand the people behind the products they enjoy every day.
Bringing Producers to the Heart of Politics
Coffee farmer Martin Kinyua brought producers' perspectives directly to policymakers, businesses and supporters.
During Fairtrade Fortnight, Martin spoke at political events including the Labour Party Conference and the Welsh Senedd, sharing first-hand insights into the challenges facing farming communities. He also connected with supporters through events and webinars exploring the realities of coffee production and why fair pay matters.
Reaching New Audiences
Fairtrade Fortnight created space for new conversations about fairness.
From our partnership with Decolonise Fest to the Fairtrade Comedy Roast, people came together through music, culture, creativity and humour to explore the issues facing farmers and workers around the world. Alongside these flagship events, supporters organised more than 1,000 community events across the UK.
Putting Fair Pay in the Spotlight
The message of fair pay reached audiences across the country.
Billboards, retail promotions, digital campaigns and our eye-catching Digi Van helped spark conversations about fairness in supply chains. Together with national and trade media coverage, these activations ensured that fair pay remained firmly on the public agenda throughout Fairtrade Fortnight.
Bringing Business Together
Business leaders, policymakers and producers came together to discuss the future of fair trade.
Our Together for Fair Pay event explored how fairer purchasing practices can help build more resilient supply chains and support sustainable livelihoods. The conversation brought together businesses, government representatives, campaigners and producers to share ideas and drive action.
Why Fair Pay matters
The people behind our favourite products deserve a fair deal. But right now, millions of farmers and workers growing the products we rely on around the world still struggle to earn a decent living and support their families.
