We’ll be celebrating Big Brew from Monday 23rd February - Sunday 8th March - but you can also host whenever suits you and your community throughout the year!
This year is Transform Trade’s 40th birthday, and on this extra special year, we’d love for you to host a Big Brew event in your community!
Big Brews take many shapes - from garden parties to afternoon teas, or the classic coffee morning! What matters most is bringing people together to fight for trade justice (and enjoy a delightful cuppa).
Everything you need is right here in your Big Brew pack, plus plenty of fundraising ideas to keep your guests entertained:
Fighting for a Fashion Watchdog -
(and inviting your MP!)
Big Brews are amazing events which gather communities to stand up for change together. This year, if you feel you’re able, we’d love if you could go one step further – and take this opportunity to push for changes to the trade system right here in the UK, by inviting your MP along to your event.
In 2026, we want to make some big strides in our Fashion Watchdog campaign – and we’d love to have your help. Showing your MP how committed your community is to trade justice, with everyone gathered together, and sharing why we need a Fashion Watchdog could make a huge difference.
