WHO ARE WE?

The Dundee Fair Trade Forum was established by the One World Centre in May 2002 to work towards Dundee becoming a Fairtrade City. Throughout its history, the Forum has worked alongside people from various sectors of the community; retailers, caterers, schools, the universities, the local authority, churches and community groups. It has run a wide variety of events in order to stimulate interest in Fair Trade and achieve the criteria for Fairtrade City status. This was declared in March 2004 and renewed in November 2005, March 2008 and November 2016.

Since September 2006, the Forum has been a separate organisation with its own constitution.

The Forum is open to all who share our passion for a fairer world trading system - you can join by contacting us.
