World Fair Trade Day this year, Saturday 13 May, Hand Up Events has launched an exciting and concerted crowdfunding project on Crowdfunder UK, to raise money for the Fair Trade Fiesta Concert and Parade offering people a chance to pledge money and secure rewards including VIP tickets for a Red Hot Chilli Pipers concert*; a bespoke Kilt made to measure; own an artwork; and a chance to have a professional photo-call on stage.

The aim of the crowdfunding project is to raise funds for the all the event costs including performers’ expenses, staging, licensing, security, sound, hiring The Ross Band Theatre, decoration and first aid. The overall cost of putting the event together is in the region of £20,000.

Fair Trade Fiesta will be also funded through food and drink sales on the day, stall hire, public donations.

Organised for the second time by Hand Up Events, a social action business, Fair Trade Fiesta a not for profit event, aims to highlight Scotland’s renewed Fair Trade Nation status – one of two Fair Trade Nations in the world.

Founder/director, Hand Up Events, Tania Pramschufer said: “We run several events each year like Fair & Ethical Trade on the Fringe, Castle Street Summer Fair, fashionABLE, The Dundee Christmas Fair etc. All to provide a positive mainstream engagement for all people interested in more sustainable ways of life.

Tania added: “By involving people of all ages and backgrounds, we hope to raise more awareness on the Fair Trade Movement through a vivid Carnival Parade and engaging free five-hour Concert with Red Hot Chilli Pipers headlining the event and over 200 performers coming on board with us!”
“What makes Fair Trade so valuable and important, is the fact that it helps farmers and producers all around the world to obtain fair prices for their goods, whilst also supporting better working conditions. We believe in fairer more sustainable practises that Fair Trade aspires to and therefore feel really strongly that platforming such an engaging event as Fair Trade Fiesta, will not only provide people with positive and uplifting experience, but also educate and inspire us all to use the power of choice, we consumers have, to make better more sustainable choices.”

“We also believe this Fair Trade spirit should be shared throughout Scotland and celebrated by engaging young people, schools and universities, interfaith groups, community groups, disability groups, Fair Trade organisations/businesses and individuals in participating at this great event.”

The event will be presented by Fair Trade Ambassador, broadcaster & journalist Gail Porter and with President of the World Fair Trade Organisation, Rudi Dalvai, attending from Netherlands, this event hopes to inspire all attending to become more ethically minded.

Rudi Dalvai, emphasised: “Today, consumers have the possibility to choose products with the guarantee that they are socially and environmentally clean.”

Commenting on the Fair Trade Fiesta and the fashionABLE event taking place on the eve of the World Fair Trade Day, presenter and host, Gail Porter said: “I am immensely proud of being part of the Fair Trade movement for many years. World Fair Trade Day unites us with Fair Trade producers globally and I am thrilled to be part of the weekend’s events celebrating Scotland as a Fair Trade Nation.”

Jess Ratty, Head of PR, Crowdfunder: “It’s fantastic to see Gail Porter supporting this important cultural festival and crowdfund. As with all great ideas, they come together best with the support of a crowd, and this is what we hope to see with this exciting campaign.”

The Carnival Parade will start at 1pm from The City Chambers right in the heart of The Royal Mile, going down to Princes Street Gardens via The Mound. With the Parade then gathering at the Ross Band Theatre, there will be a wide range of performances taking place at the Concert from 2pm onwards; with pipe-bands, samba, reggae, jazz, soul, dance and more promising to entertain and educate all people attending this fantastic event.
