Students from the Honley High School Fairtrade Forum are the newest members of Holme Valley Fairtrade, and we asked them to share some of their thoughts and experiences since joining. Earlier this year, many of the students joined Holme Valley Fairtrade in our trip to launch the Fairtrade APPG in Parliament. Read their reflections below on the impact that the event and Fairtrade has had so far.
