Where to look Fairtrade The Council wishes to encourage contractors, suppliers and service providers engaged to work for the Council to show a commitment to Fairtrade. The Council is committed to Lewisham achieving and maintaining “Fairtrade Borough” status by meeting the five goals necessary to become a designated Fairtrade Borough. Further information on fairtrade can be found at: http://www.fairtrade.org.uk Where to look

Go to: Councillors – they will have public meetings you can attend Email first – always best to email as it allows officers to find the right people internally – Councils are big employers there are a lot of people we don’t know Via local assemblies – Council representation will be there, good to have a community wanting to be involved How to engage

Who else There are others you can influence: University's Hospitals Housing Associations Local Chamber of Commerce All of these will have ties into the Council and may be able to influence Who else

Any questions?
