The University of Leeds marked Fairtrade Fortnight with a special day of celebrations which included a Fairtrade and Craft Fair in the Parkinson Building.

The University of Leeds is proud of its Fairtrade University status. Conferences and catering manager, Bev Kenny, goes out of her way to ensure that the university supplies Fairtrade products to its students, staff and visitors.
The university is an excellent example of a community coming together, to do what it can, to ensure that producers in poor countries get a fair deal. So much so, that the University of Leeds was chosen by Fairtrade Yorkshire as our regional flagship employer.
