Crediton Fairtrade Partnership

Crediton is a Fairtrade town, where local people can make positive global choices, in a step towards fairness and justice around the world. Many in the town have enjoyed actively supporting the campaign over several years and making fair trade shopping choices to ensure justice and dignity for those who produce our goods.

Since 2008, we have welcomed producers each year and listened to their stories about the difference fair trade makes to them and their communities.

We became a Fairtrade town in 2007 with renewal in 2010 (The link allows you to find out more about gaining Fairtrade Town status).
