Today is the beginning of Fairtrade Fortnight. Fairtrade has continued to grow and grow over the twenty years it has been raising awareness. It's not just about tea, coffee and chocolate - it's about footballs, clothes, wine, flowers and so much more.
Many of us have already made the switch to Fairtrade items - this fortnight is an opportunity to celebrate the impact of Fairtrade on many communities across the globe, and to encourage us to have a think about how and where we spend our money.
For those of you who are following the 40 Acts Lent programme you will know that today's focus is on Fairtrade - making the switch and raising awareness.
