The Big Brew
Hold a Big Brew and join thousands of people in the UK in bringing about positive change in the lives of
many millions of tea workers. Get resources and tell us about your event.
Traidcraft's Big Brew is a national initiative encouraging schools, churches, workplaces and any other organisation, to host a Fairtrade tea party event anytime during Fairtrade Fortnight 2010.
Whether you simply put the kettle on and invite people along or you use it as an opportunity to put on a large event ranging from a café to a carnival, Traidcraft's Big Brew has something for everyone.
Big Brew aims:
To raise awareness of the difference we can all make to the lives of tea producers by:
- buying Traidcraft Fairtrade tea
