Fairtrade chocolate
The theme of this year’s fortnight – which runs from 22nd February to 7th March – is ‘choose the world you want’ and aims to highlight the challenges facing communities in areas such as Kenya, Ethiopia and Honduras.
Central England Co-op has supported the Fairtrade movement for the past 25 years and will be promoting goods including chocolate from Sierra Leone and bananas from Panama.
But the company is also hoping to use the event to encourage people to add items to food bank donation points in shops.
Store manager Brad Tuckfield said:
“Our food stores stock some wonderful Fairtrade products, from delicious chocolate and a wide range of coffees, to quality wines and even fairly traded rubber gloves, which directly support people in some of the poorest parts of the world to earn a fair wage.

Youngsters have celebrated a quirk in their town s religious history in a piece of public art.
Reepham Primary School Year 3 and 4 pupils have created a mural for the new Co-op food store in Station Road.
Called The Three Churches , the artwork highlights the way Reepham was at the junction of three parishes and so once had three churches at the same place.
Although one of the churches is now a ruin, the spot thought to be one of only two places in Europe with such a history.
