Fairtrade Fortnight - 30 years! What's On

P Morgan September 7, 2024

Sustainable Wales is working with SUSSED and other concerned groups to promote this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight 30 year celebration.

Our short film, was made in Porthcawl, helps you understand the importance of Fairtrade and the premium it also offers to the producers of goods. We can see how we are also dependent for our economies on these commodities. Yet climate change is threatening their plantations and our futures.

Gwnaed ein ffilm fer yn Porthcawl, ac mae'n eich helpu i ddeall pwysigrwydd Masnach Deg a'r premiwm y mae hefyd yn ei gynnig i gynhyrchwyr nwyddau. Gallwn weld sut yr ydym hefyd yn ddibynnol ar y nwyddau hyn ar gyfer ein heconomïau. Eto i gyd, mae newid hinsawdd yn bygwth eu planhigfeydd a'n dyfodol ni.

Our not-for-profit community shop in James Street, Porthcawl hopes to increase fairtrade awareness, as it benefits to two million Fairtrade farmers and workers across 58 countries and also encourage an active response.

When you choose fairtrade branded goods it means that farmers and their families receive a fair price for their goods, however small or big your purchase is, making trade fairer.

High environmental standards and democratic working conditions are met, maintaining a people and planet friendly approach to trade. SUSSED volunteers, sell a wide variety of fairly traded goods helping shoppers boost the economies of developing countries.

Mae SUSSED yn ymuno â'r dathliad 30 mlynedd hwn yn y DU gyda samplau am ddim o siocled, coffi a the i gwsmeriaid sy'n ymweld.

Mae ein siop gymunedol nid-er-elw ar Stryd James, Porthcawl yn gobeithio cynyddu ymwybyddiaeth o Fasnach Deg, gan ei fod yn fanteisio i ddwy filiwn o ffermwyr a gweithwyr Masnach Deg ar draws 58 o wledydd ac hefyd yn annog ymateb gweithgar.

Pan fyddwch yn dewis nwyddau â brand Masnach Deg, mae'n golygu bod ffermwyr a'u teuluoedd yn derbyn pris teg am eu nwyddau, waeth pa mor fach neu fawr yw eich pryniant, gan wneud masnach yn decach.

Mae safonau amgylcheddol uchel a chyflwr gwaith democrataidd yn cael eu cyflawni, gan gynnal dull o fasnach sy'n gyfeillgar i bobl a'r blaned. Mae gwirfoddolwyr SUSSED yn gwerthu amrywiaeth eang o nwyddau masnach deg gan helpu siopwyr i hybu economïau gwledydd sy'n datblygu.

Os hoffech chi helpu i ymuno â'n tîm, ewch i mewn i 4/5 Stryd James, Porthcawl neu cysylltwch â Peter neu fy hun ar 01656 783962.
