 The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal. Horsham became a Fairtrade Town in July 2005 joining the 160 other towns and cities in the UK who had achieved this award at that time. Becoming an official Fairtrade Town means that Horsham meets the following criteria: - Local council passes a resolution supporting Fairtrade, and agrees to serve Fairtrade coffee and tea at its meetings and in its offices and canteens.
- A range of (at least two) Fairtrade products are readily available in the area’s shops.
- Fairtrade products are served in local cafés/catering establishments.
- Fairtrade products are used by a number of local work places (estate agents, hairdressers etc) and community organisations (churches, schools etc)
- Attract media coverage and popular support for the campaign
- A local Fairtrade steering group is convened to ensure continued commitment to its Fairtrade Town status
