COMMUNITY groups in Worcestershire are being given the chance to get their hands on a slice of £50,000 to help promote ethical trading.

Fairtrade Fortnight runs from Monday, February 22, until Sunday, March 7, and groups are being urged to organise events to highlight its importance.

The Co-operative Group is offering £50,000 to community groups to ensure their Fairtrade events such as fashion shows, coffee mornings and wine tastings are a great success.
