This Fairtrade Fortnight (27 Feb – 11 March) Shared Interest is supporting the Fairtrade Foundation’s challenge to the UK public to Take a Step for Fairtrade. We want to show what you can do to make a real and lasting difference to farmers and handicraft producers in the developing world.
Together, we want to take 1.5 million steps for Fairtrade in 2012. That’s one step for every fair trade producer around the world.
By taking a step and opening a Share Account you will join our network of almost 9,000 individuals, groups, schools and faith groups that are collectively investing in a fairer world and helping communities in the developing world access fair finance and create sustainable livelihoods for themselves.

To open an account please download the application form or request an application pack to be posted to you. You can also open an account as a gift on behalf of your friends and family, download the gift pack application form here.
We have a number of films for you to watch that show the positive impact that an investment can make. You can view them by clicking here.
