Doncaster College held a Tradecraft stall at its Hub campus, recently as part of Fairtrade week.
The idea was to raise awareness of Fairtrade, locally and nationally, and to fight poverty by trading with poor nations.
Doncaster College Volunteer Chaplain, Joan Reasbeck, organised the stall with the help of Christine Ogley and Wilma Gibson, who brought Fairtrade items to sell to students and staff.
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.
The Fairtrade Foundation has licensed over 3,000 Fairtrade certified products for sale through retail and catering outlets in the UK.
