Take action
The school clothing market is worth £1 billion per year. Colleges spend tens of millions per year buying clothes for their sports teams, staff and vocational courses.
Some of this is made up by uniforms that schools sell themselves, some by independent uniform shops, and lots by supermarkets.
If we join together with other schools and colleges all around the country, millions of pounds of this money will go towards…
- Paying fair cotton prices
- Funding schools and hospitals in developing countries
- Helping protect the environment.
We need to tell our schools, colleges, high street shops and supermarkets to Wear Fair!
These pages tell you how to join People & Planet’s national campaign by getting your school or college to change to Fairtrade cotton uniforms and garments, and pushing for radical change in more ethical sourcing practices for supermarkets.
