What's New This September?
As always, we’ve got LOTS going on this year at Traidcraft Schools.
Start a Traidcraft Breakfast Club!
…Drum roll…
It’s time to make an important change in your school – launch your Breakfast Club as a Traidcraft Breakfast Club, and change the world at the same time.
People all around the world are connected by breakfasts, and Breakfast Clubs can offer children a friendly and relaxed environment where they can socialise and enjoy their first meal of the day. When you start a Traidcraft Breakfast Club, the children can also learn about world culture, fair trade, and it will help your school achieve a Fairtrade Schools Award too!

Show You Care Campaign!
Last year we announced that we’d seen fair trade sales drop in the last four years, and our supporters rallied together to boost fair trade awareness and sales. This autumn we’re pulling out all the stops to encourage our current supporters and schools to Show You Care by choosing fair trade and by doing that little bit extra this autumn, whether it’s starting a Traidcraft Breakfast Club, holding a one-off fair trade bake off, or by taking the first step on your journey to achieving the Fairtrade Schools Award. We’ll be releasing new producer stories and resources from Nepal and India to inspire and aid learning – so keep your eyes peeled for those too!
Many new schools come to us on the word of a friend, so please tell your teacher friends about us. If you need any leaflets, Autumn Guides, or catalogues to give to them, just let us know ( [email protected] ).
Fair Trade Jelly Beans!
Brand new for autumn, Traidcraft HQ is packed full of fair trade jelly beans. Hoorah!
Perfect for a treat, a school or church stall, lunchboxes, or even to keen in the car for the commute, we’re stocking two varieties from the Jelly Bean Factory. Choose the Gourmet Mix for a little bit of everything, or choose the Fruit Cocktail Mix for extra fruitiness.
A single box of beans (75g) is £1.30, or you can purchase a case of 16 boxes for £19.20 (works out at £1.20 each). Read more about them in our new autumn catalogue or on the online shop!
New Issue of School Magazine!
We’ve just published our latest Fair Trade Guide to Autumn Term. We have a few spare paper copies, so if you need any to share around or help promote Traidcraft please just add them to your next order (item code for the online shop is 27416).
New Catalogue, with New Goodies!
We’ve launched out autumn catalogue – huzzah! With a new catalogue comes new tuck shop treats and staffroom delicacies, so explore our online shop or put your feet up with a steaming cup of CafeDirect coffee or fair trade herbal tea and our print catalogue!
If you need to order more catalogues to share with teachers or parents, simply email [email protected] or add them to your next order (product code: 27818).
It’s Back - The Real Advent Calendar!
It’s a sell-out every year, and it’s back again! This calendar is fair trade and includes a little booklet describing the Christmas story booklet. Perhaps you could encourage parents to order them, or they’ve be a great addition to your advent activities or RE lessons?
(If you’re buying multiple calendars don’t forget to opt for a case, it works out cheaper!)
Find them on the online shop here.
