### BRISTOL FAIR TRADE NETWORK C.I.C.

### Company Number: 11514026 (England and Wales)

### Year Ending: 31 August 2025

Company activities and impact

This year, the company’s focus was on two main events. The first was a Fairtrade producer visit and the second was Fairtrade Fortnight, which is organised by the Fairtrade Foundation. The year also saw activities undertaken to prepare for the 20th anniversary of Bristol being awarded Fairtrade City status. The Fairtrade producer visit is run in partnership with the Bristol Link with Nicaragua (BLINC) and aims to increase awareness of Fairtrade through education, particularly at local schools. As well as several visits to schools in the local area, the company also organised an event for the general public and supporters of the Bristol Fairtrade Network. This education event was co-hosted with the Global Goals Centre in Sparks, Bristol with a presentation by the Nicaraguan producer. During Fairtrade Fortnight, the company had an information and fairtrade goods pop-up stall within Sparks and provided publicity to promote the benefits of fairtrade to the general public. There was further collaboration with the Global Goals Centre at Sparks when the company sponsored the Earth Day Heroes Food Award for local school children and students. In preparation of the 20th anniversary of Bristol being awarded Fairtrade City status, the company is running a competition for local artists to produce a fairtrade-themed artwork. The entries have been judged and the winner chosen ready for the artwork will be installed in Sparks later this year in time for the anniversary celebration.

The CIC’s main stakeholders are: Local businesses, Bristol Climate and Nature Partnership, Global Goals Centre, Future Economy Network, Business West, Bristol City Council (including Bristol Link with Nicaragua), Bristol University and the general public. Contact with these organisations is largely via email or remote meetings (eg Zoom) in order to co-ordinate events. Contact with the general public is generally via social media or at face-to-face events such as the Fairtrade producer event at Sparks.
