Meet The People Tours

Meet the People Tours are a joint venture between Traidcraft, the UK's leading fair trade organisation and Saddle Skedaddle, a small independent tour operator. The range of tours are managed by Skedaddle in conjunction with Traidcraft.

If you are interested in fair trade and are looking for an opportunity to meet the people behind the products, to see the impact of fair trade, the benefits of Traidcrafts work, fighting poverty through trade, then these holidays are for you.

You’ll learn something of the different cultures, visit development projects and sites of interest, meet a wide variety of people, including some Traidcraft producers and have your ideas of developing countries challenged.

Starting things for Fairtrade Fortnight 2011

Happy New Year... which means it's time to start thinking about Fairtrade Fortnight again!


This year's Fairtrade Fortnight will be Monday 28th February - Sunday 13th March... which includes Comic Relief's Red Nose Day on Friday 18th March.
Could anyone who is planning any events, or who would like help planning any events, please let me know as soon as possible.
If you would like us to publicise your events as part of our Fairtrade Fortnight programme of events, please let us know. riversidepicnic@yahoo.co.uk

Any schools or other organisations who are planning to do things, but not open to the public : Please also let me know what you are doing so I can include it in our next renewal of Fairtrade Town status. (This applies at others times of the year too).
We hope to have our now annual famous Big Banana Split in the arcade again. And we will have the "Small Revolutions" film available for showing. (Features the Amman Valley School Fun Day event and follows the riders from i-Smooth to the Millennium Centre).
Please get in touch if you would like to show it. (It is about 10 minutes long.)
