Young Guns Fighting Poverty


Shared Earth is committed to Fair and ethical trade. As a part of Shared Earth’s 25th Anniversary, we want to meet young people active or interested in campaigning for fairer trade.


On the 10th March, 4:00 to 6:00, we are inviting young people from Birmingham to join us at our New Street shop for a networking event, sharing ideas and experiences where young people make a difference fighting poverty through fair trade.


Shared Earth and Fairtrade Association Birmingham (FAB) are committed to supporting young people in Birmingham, and we intend this to be the first meeting, and the beginning of a Birmingham wide Young People’s Forum for fair and ethical trade.



Special guests, Jeremy Piercy, founder and managing director of Shared Earth, John Boyle, Chair of Fairtrade Association Birmingham and Members Relations Officer, Midlands Cooperative Society, and Matt Windle, Slam poet and former young Poet Laureate, will be taking part in our network evening. Snacks available, any dietary or other special requirements, please let us know.



Whether or not you will attend our event, please register interest by forwarding your email, or other contact detail you wish us to use to Marcus (see below).
