Welcome to the official Scottish Fair Trade Forum website! Since 2007 we have been campaigning to make Scotland one of the first countries in the world to achieve Fair Trade Nation status. So far we are very close to achieving this goal and 2012 could be the year that it happens! To find out about what you and your community can do to help, check out the resources section of the site.




  

To celebrate this year's World Fair Trade Day on 12 May 2012, The Scottish Fair Trade Forum will be running a photo competition. Anyone can enter and there will be Fairtrade prizes given to the winners. To find out more click here.
