Fair-trade town status for Youghal renewed
0 comments | 
In 2008, Youghal was awarded Fair Trade Town status in recognition of its commitment to supporting producers in the developing countries. To maintain fairtrade status Youghal must meet the renewal criteria every two years.

In the coming weeks the committee will be writing to existing fairtrade businesses to remind them of their fairtrade commitments e.g. stocking at least two fairtrade products.
The committee wants to thank all the businesses, retailers, and shoppers in Youghal for their commitment to fairtrade. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Youghal Town Council for all their support to date.
The committee would like to hear from new businesses / retailers who would support fairtrade by selling their products.

When we sell or consume fairtrade products we guarantee a better deal to developing countries. It strengthens their hand in trading relationships so they can earn a better living and have access to education and health care.
The committee would welcome new members who are interested in promoting fairtrade. For further information on fairtrade contact Stacey at Cumann Na Daoine, Catherine Street, Youghal. Tel 024-91900.
