Fairtrade
Fairtrade is about addressing poverty in the developing world through better prices.
By buying Fairtrade certified products you're giving farmers a chance to sell their products at a stable price that covers their costs and enables them to support their families and invest in a better future.
Stockton-on-Tees was awarded Fairtrade Borough Status in July 2007 and is now supported by a wide range of organisations and individuals including the Council, the RSPB, Durham University Queen's Campus, Vela Housing, churches, community groups, schools, restaurants and shops.
The Council supports the Fairtrade campaign by using only Fairtrade products at all official meetings.
All of the five major Trade Unions in the Tees Valley area and the Youth Assembly have expressed their support for the Fairtrade movement.
Visit the Stockton Fairtrade Facebook page for further information.

Big Local
Big Local is an exciting opportunity for residents in 150 areas around England to use at least £1million to make a massive and lasting positive difference to their communities for all.
It's about bringing together local talent, ambitions, skills and energy from individuals, groups and organisations who want to make their area an even better place to live.
The Big Lottery have awarded £1million to the Roseworth Ward as part of the national Big Local programme. Roseworth was recognised as an area which had missed out on special programmes over the years and this is to help redress the balance. The money, spread over 10 years, is designed to help local people and organisations to make a big, lasting difference to the community.
