FAIRTRADE HORNSEA
We are a community, which has made a commitment to supporting Fairtrade, and through it to support disadvantaged farmers and workers in developing countries.
Fairtrade is a tool to eradicate poverty and at Hornsea Local Market we sell food, household goods, gifts, toys, jewellery and much more - all of which guarantee the producers a living wage and a premium to be used, by the community, for better living conditions and development.
