Enfield Over 50's Discuss Fairtrade

The Fairtrade Foundation

The Fairtrade Foundation was launched in 1992 by Christian Aid, Oxfam and
others to help producers in poor countries of the many products we eat and
wear to get a better deal by encouraging us to buy goods with the Fairtrade
label. Fairtrade growers of things like coffee, tea, sugar, fresh fruit and
cocoa get a fair price for their produce, giving them higher incomes and
more money to invest in modern production methods. Fairtrade helps some 5
million people - farmers, workers and their families in 60 countries - to
live a better life. In this country it is supported by the Women¹s Institute
and the Co-operative Movement and by our local Marks and Spencer and
Waitrose.

and the Primary Care Trust responsible for administering the NHS in our
area. We believe older people represent a powerful force and by working with
others we can help make Enfield a Borough to be proud of.

improving the 25p Age Addition paid to pensioners at 80 and more access to
public toilets making it the representative
