Solihull Fairtrade Newsletter Welcome to the first Solihull Fairtrade Newsletter! Bringing you a roundup of all the Fairtrade news from the Borough. Solihull Fairtrade is a group of individuals, businesses and organisations set up to promote fair trade and sourcing ethical products overseas.

Why Fairtrade? Do you want those producing your day-to-day luxuries like tea, coffee and bananas to be paid fairly?

Do you want them to invest in the future of their produce, their business, their community?

Do you want them to look after their environment, not exploit it for short term survival?
