"I am delighted to be Patron of Fairtrade in Bolton during my mayoral year. The Mayoress and I are great believers in Fairtrade products and we would encourage everyone to buy these. We know that by doing this it is helping farmers and growers across the world earn a decent wage and start to lift themselves out of poverty. Bolton Council is committed to supporting Fairtrade and the Mayoress and I look forward to adding our personal support to the Fairtrade Campaign during our year in office".
