scotland’s fair trade network
Why Join Us
You’ll join Scotland’s Fair Trade network and be part of a global movement for trade and climate justice. Together we’ll take action for a fair future where business and trade contribute to justice, equity and sustainable development in the world.
When you join Scottish Fair Trade, you can expect:
To be part of the campaign – you’re showing that you agree with fair and sustainable trade, and support Scotland’s Fair Trade Nation targets
Profiling of your commitment to Fair Trade, and your Fair Trade work – we’ll add you to our list of Fair Trade supporters on our website
Advice and support – we’ll introduce Scottish Fair Trade and our work in a short meeting online where you can tell us about your plans and we can identify any opportunities to collaborate
Training and networking – we organise regular member events focused on issues and audiences including procurement, communities, learning, retailers, public sector and more
Involvement with the charity – as a member you can be nominated to join our trustees to oversee our charitable objectives, and are invited to our Annual General Meeting with voting rights
Event invitations – you’ll be one of the first to hear about our events and opportunities to get involved, including in marketplaces
Promotion support – we’ll showcase your work on social media, in our e-newsletters and in media stories
Political representation – we’re involved in the Scottish Parliament’s Cross Party Group on Fair Trade, work to engage MSPs, and are in regular discussion with the Scottish Government, so we’re in a position to present your Fair Trade commitments
To influence the global movement for change – we’ll keep you updated on the global Fair Trade movement, as network members of the World Fair Trade Organization, and supporters of the Fairtrade Foundation and Fair Trade Wales
Membership is open to anyone who supports our work to promote Fair Trade in Scotland. Our members are community groups, individuals, businesses, councils, places of worship, schools, NGOs, politicians, universities and colleges, and other organisations who have come together to support Fair Trade as a way of doing business and trade that is sustainable for people and for the planet.
