Fairtrade Bunting Record Bid

Thank you to everyone who took part in our Bunting Challenge during Fairtrade Fortnight, decorating pieces of Fairtrade cotton bunting with your messages of support for Fairtrade and trade justice.

You sent the Fairtrade Foundation over 130,000 pieces of bunting and on World Fairtrade Day - 14 May - they displayed as many of these as they could in a Guinness World Record attempt to create the longest (and fairest) string of cotton bunting in the world.  The string consisted of 14,281 pennants totalling 3,427 metres of bunting and trounced the previous record!  To read more about it check out the Fairtrade Foundation blog.

The Fairtrade Foundation have sent the evidence to Guinness and are waiting to hear from them as to whether we qualify for an official Guinness World Record.



The Fairtrade Guernsey Steering Group gratefully acknowledges the kind support of the following organisations in making this website possible.
