Help Ensure a Future with Forests!
Achieved their Deforestation Free Champions Award in July 2024.
After learning about forest-risk commodities and investigating their school meals, students at Rhos-afan Primary School took several actions to influence change and inspire others.
Firstly, they held an assembly to raise awareness on the importance of Fairtrade for farmers and forests, performing a “blind taste test” with the staff, who all picked a Fairtrade chocolate bar as their favourite.
“In our school, so far, we have created posters to put up around the school to spread awareness for Fairtrade, delivered an assembly, run a school fruit stand and we’ve checked the coffee in our school’s staffroom.” Students from Rhos-afan Primary
They also wrote a letter to Neath Port Talbot Council, telling them about the risk of embedded deforestation within their school menu and highlighting the issues this causes for people and nature, urging them to ensure Fairtrade and other ethical products are used in their school meals.
