Fairtrade drinks in Kings Heath



All Saints Church Church, a FAB affiliated church, has conducted it's own survey to track down fairtrade drinks in Kings Heath.  We encourage anyone who is interested in surveying, or sells fairtrade, please contact us.  We want to promote all fair and ethical trading businesses in Birmingham.


Please take a photo of fairtrade goods as you find them, add location and email to us (fairtradebirmingham@googlegroups.com) we can add to our database.


If you are a twitterer, why not photo fairtrade goods, add #ftlabel and location and forward to @fairtradebrum?
