At Kingsmead, students realise that fair trading and fair business amongst global economies are not only just, but also mutually beneficial to all countries.   The Fairtrade Foundation is an organisation that advocates paying a fair price for goods sold by people and communities in developing countries.  It also supports projects which aim to alleviate poverty whilst encouraging an awareness of sustainability and respect for the environment.  Currently, the main products which carry the Fairtrade mark are coffee, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fruit, flowers and chocolate.  

Students at Kingsmead, have now become well aware of the philosophy of fairness and Fairtrade and so they have led the way in promoting, campaigning and highlighting the topic.  Some of their activities are as follows.
