At today, Keir Starmer’s call for global unity on climate action is right - but now the UK must lead.

Climate change is already devastating cocoa, coffee and tea farmers. We need bold laws to hold businesses accountable and direct climate finance to those on the frontlines.

It’s time to deliver climate justice through trade justice.

🚨 It’s time to tell the UK government: we want our tea brewed fair.

Right now, millions of tea farmers face low wages, poor working conditions, and climate threats - while big brands profit. That’s not just unfair. It’s unsustainable.

Our petition calls on the government to support fairer trade for tea farmers and ensure the UK’s supply chains respect people and planet.

✊ Add your voice. Sign the petition. Share it.

Yay 🎉
Tanzania Delicious Cashews is one of the groups we have helped sponsor!
Very chuffed to get this news 😊

NEWS JUST IN: Tanzania Delicious Cashews are now fully sponsored! We can support them for the long term alongside many other producers around the world.

Our goal is to get all three producer groups to full capacity by the end of September... and this is a great start!

What a great time we had at the International Fairtrade Towns Conference in Edinburgh this weekend 😊 It was informative and so inspiring to listen to speakers from all over the world ~ producers from Africa, Nepal, South America, South Korea, and activists from Germany, Belgium and the UK. Lots of discussion and great food too!

🫖 We drink 100 million cups of tea a day in the UK. But the people behind our brew face low wages, unsafe conditions, and the impact of climate change.
