Publicity for local events

We need good publicity for Fairtrade events in our churches and diocese, as part of our commitment to raise awareness of trade issues, of the Fairtrade Mark, and to encourage change.

Try to get your event covered in the local press,and also be prepared to send in your own report and picture. Send one to us with an outline of the event; what worked and what didn’t work.

Keep your report short, and don’t forget to give your contact details. It is best to email the press, but try to drop into the office or phone beforehand to make contact with a reporter.

The Fairtrade Foundation's action guide for 2008  has a sample press release and guidelines at the end of the document.

Try to get an interview about an event on local or Premier Christian radio. They are generally very supportive and pleased to have items to fill spaces. Again, if you can please send details to us too.
