Take an action linked to the Millennium Development Goals to help reduce global poverty and you could win a place at an international student conference in Slovenia!
Well Done to all the participants who entered the Fairtrade Yorkshire’s sock puppet competition.
We’ve counted up the votes, both through this site and YouTube and we are pleased to announce we have a winner: Kennedy McGuire!! We will be in touch shortly Kennedy!
Well done also to Rojin and Anna (aka 012 Kamran) for a close second place. Charlotte, Saffron and Elle from Gomersal Middle School came in third.
Thanks to everyone who took part and carry on creatively communicating the Fairtrade message!
