Fairtrade footie

There are a whole bunch of reasons why Brazil's World Cup could be deemed unfair, not least that the tournament is costing the Brazilian taxpayer £7bn when more than 10% of the population live on less than $2 per day.

But the good news is, you can make your own kick-about a little fairer with these fab fairtrade footballs from Bala. These high quality balls are made in the same factories as well-known brands, but the workers receive a much higher wage, along with the Fairtrade premium which can be invested in social development schemes of the workers' choice.

And if football's not your bag, you can get fairtrade rugby balls, volleyballs, netballs (and cool trainers) from FairCorp.
