The County of Rutland was granted Fairtrade Status in March 2007. This means that a certain level of support has been reached in the promotion and use of Fairtrade marked products in all sectors of the community – local authorities, retail outlets, restaurants, cafés, businesses, clubs and associations, schools and churches. 

Rutland Fairtrade promotes Rutland businesses, schools and organisations that support Fairtrade.

The team host an annual Fairtrade Christmas market at Oakham Castle, the AGM and strive to boost local businesses using Fairtrade products.
