Election 2026

WELCOMING YOUR MSP

Get in touch with your newly elected representatives

Local campaigners have a powerful role to play in putting Fair Trade, global justice and ethical trade firmly on the political agenda. We encourage you to contact your MSP to outline the issues which are important to you.

As a guide, we have created a Welcome Letter Template for MSPs that you can use. We would also be grateful if you could include our Fair Trade Nation briefing for MSPs along with your letter.

You can find your MSPs and their contact details here.

Badges!

We have pin badges for you to send to your MSPs for them to wear in Parliament. Get in touch with us at info@scottishfairtrade.org and we’ll pop some in the post for you.

Our key asks

We’re calling on MSPs to:

Publicly support Scotland’s status as a Fair Trade Nation
Champion Fair Trade in policy, procurement and public leadership
Join the Cross Party Group on Fair Trade

You can read our full list of policy asks here.

Questions to ask

If you have the opportunity to meet with your MSP, you might want to ask these questions to gauge their support for the issues you care about…

Fair Trade Nation

Scotland is proud to be a Fair Trade Nation. How will you support and strengthen that commitment if elected?
Do you see Fair Trade as part of Scotland’s approach to tackling global inequality and climate justice?

Leadership & action

Would you commit to supporting or joining the Cross Party Group on Fair Trade to help drive progress across party lines?
What practical steps would you support to help Fair Trade businesses and producers thrive?
How will you make sure Scotland’s trade and procurement decisions reflect our values, not just price?
