Events

Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 22nd Feb to 7th March.

The Fairtrade Foundation need your help to put farmers’  voices at the heart of tackling the climate crisis and share the reality of their struggles. Our global trading system is balanced in favour of the powerful few. Trapped in this system, farmers already struggle to meet their immediate needs. More than ever, they need a fair price for their crops and their hard work.

Fairtrade works to raise the voices of farmers and workers and prioritise what they need to respond to the environmental crises unfolding in already vulnerable communities. This Fortnight, we are asking you to ‘Choose the World You Want’ and use your voice to tell others about the challenges that farmers face from climate change.

We will be hosting an online festival bringing together schools, universities, businesses, supporters, campaigners and farmers from across the world to choose the world they want.

Green Tides has secured National Lottery funding to help develop a website (now under development) which will showcase all the local wonderful wildflower sites.

The aim is to encourage more and more people to get out there and enjoy our local greenspaces and even have a go at growing some wildflowers themselves!

So that they can develop content for the website and create the all important trail map, they have taken a standardised approach to gathering some information about these local spaces, some of which TTW maintains – this comes in the shape of a form that will be the submission to be part of the trail.

There’s a little FAQ about what’s going on and how people can help us at this stage. Please contact Chris to get any wildflower spaces listed on the trail map that he may not know about (we will list The Haven in Homefield Park), or send through any great pictures of wildflowers, meadows areas and pollinators.
