Fairtrade Fortnight
This year Fairtrade Fortnight is Monday 21st September – Sunday 4th October 2026.
Christian Concern for One World has produced a Fairtrade Fortnight guide for churches. The materials offer information for services as well as general information about Fairtrade, Fairtrade Fortnight and possible activities. One of the things the main resource does explicitly is link Fairtrade with Season of Creation and Harvest.
They also have an interactive chocolate prayer, which helps churches pray for both local and global farmers; preaching notes for the Revised Common Lectionary readings; and a variety of prayers and service materials.
Fairtrade goods cause less damage, are more ethically sourced, give fairer wages and support local projects. So let’s raise the profile of Fairtrade goods during Fairtrade Fortnight.
For example, St John’s Methodist Church Settle, North Yorkshire, BD24 9JH, is holding a coffee morning on Wednesday 24 September. Someone from the local Coop will be coming with Fairtrade samples from the Coop to enliven the morning with “Try before you buy!”
