Fairtrade group wins big

Derbyshire Dales District Fairtrade Group is celebrating after scooping a top national award.

The group received the Best Campaign Award at the national Fairtrade Supporter Conference in London, winning £700 to reinvest in its ongoing campaign.

The top award – presented at the conference by Fairtrade International Chief Executive Michael Gidney CBE – recognises the impact of a unique artwork created by groups in Ashbourne, Bakewell, Darley Dale, Matlock and Wirksworth during Fairtrade Fortnight earlier this year.
