Schools in Tunbridge Wells have played a major part in our achievement of Fairtrade Town Status. Through their support for our many projects we are able to maintain the high profile of Fairtrade in our Town.
Students and teachers have put their time and effort into all our projects. This year was no exception!
Once again students from schools in Tunbridge Wells displayed their many talents including set design, modelling Fairtrade clothes and accessories on the catwalk and as up and coming new designers in our T-shirt competition. “The show pulled in a crowd of over 200 and was reported on the Courier Website.” |

There were over 120 entries for our ‘Design a T-Shirt ’ competition. The winners were announced at the Fairtrade Fashion Show and modelled their winning designs on the Catwalk.
If you would like one of these designs on a Fairtrade T-shirt, or are disappointed that you don’t see your own design here, contact Lynn Allen at Ljallen36@aol.com who may be able to print your design for you. Cost from £7-12 subject to size of T- shirt etc.
