It's a "YES!" after two years' work
We are delighted to share the exciting news that, on the 25th June 2008 the Fairtrade Foundation officially approved our application and granted Fairtrade Borough Status to the Borough of Scarborough.
This has been (and hopefully will continue to be) a huge team effort and congratulations are due all round. Thanks to everyone who has supported us.
So now for the next bit!
Of course that's not the end. Although the Borough scored highly on all the necessary measures, we need to keep up the good work by persuading more people to think Fairtrade both as consumers and as businesses. So the work continues. The change in momentum will be reflected on this web site with new material including advice on how we can make Scarborough even fairer! - so do please please keep coming back to see how we're doing, and maybe to find ways to help!
The FAIRTRADE Borough of Scarborough!
Members of the Executive Committee celebrate the news!
