On Tuesday 6th March, Rathlin Island’s Fairtrade Group celebrated
Fairtrade Fortnight with an event hosted in the Manor House. There was a
very good turnout from the island with over twenty people attending –
that’s almost a quarter of Rathlin’s whole population! A small group of
volunteers, supported by the Rathlin Development & Community Association
and St Mary’s Primary School, has held Fairtrade Fortnight events for
the past two years now.
