Fair Trade Ways

Ammanford Fairtrade Group has  received £500 funding from Fair Trade Wales to develop the idea of Fair Trade Ways in Wales.

With support from the County Council's Countryside team we are finalising a route for an official waymarked Fair Trade Way from Ammanford to Carmarthen via Llandeilo. When all agreed we will be able to organise an official inaugural walk of what we expect to be the first waymarked Fair Trade Way in Wales. Hopefully Amman Valley Pupils will be able to create a leaflet for this walk.

As well as the public leaflet for the walk, we will be producing a website leaflet for campaigners in other areas to use, showing examples of how campaign groups can use the idea of Fair Trade Ways in their own communities

Other ideas for local walks we could use as examples;

·         Ammanford Nursery's walk from their school to the Co-Op, looking around the store for Fairtrade goods.

·         "Beating The Bounds"  - a Fairtrade walk around Ammanford  town's boundaries.

·          A train journey up to Llandrindod highlighting ARRIVA's Fairtrade hot drinks trolley.

·         A walk to the Botanic Gardens, or a Fairtrade Trail around the gardens.
