Dundee is now a fairtrade City

Dundee will be awarded the status of "Fairtrade City" on Friday 5th March.

To celebrate this important award the Dundee Fair Trade Forum and Dundee and Tayside Chamber of Commerce are holding a Fairtrade Breakfast at 8am on Friday morning in DCA.

A range of Fairtrade products will be served for breakfast. This is a good chance to celebrate an important milestone for our City and a chance to support the people in the City who are striving to redress the balance between rich and poor in the developed and developing world.

All University staff and students are welcome to attend but should email moiraboyd@dundeechamber.co.uk to note attendance for the purpose of catering.
