Edinburgh North and Leith MP Mark Lazarowicz is to host a free, public meeting to discuss Fairtrade on 5 March.
He is inviting experts, practitioners and constituency residents to discuss the future of Fairtrade: whether it should just continue to expand and improve, or whether it needs to change course in some way. How can more businesses and individuals be encouraged to join in?
The Fairtrade Foundation is a registered charity which seeks to place 'justice and sustainable development ... at the heart of trade structures and practices so that everyone, through their work, can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood and develop their full potential'.

The meeting will take place from 10:00–11:30am at McDonald Road Library. Fairtrade refreshments will be available. If you are going, you are requested to reserve a place by emailing: doranka@parliament.uk.
