We are excitedly gearing up for Oxfam’s Biggest Coffee Break, New Zealand’s biggest celebration of fair trade.
Oxfam’s Biggest Coffee Break is enjoyed each May during Fair Trade Fortnight when people throughout the country get together to taste the Fairtrade difference and fundraise for Oxfam's work towards a fairer, safer, more sustainable world.
Coffee Breaks are easy to organise, fun and completely flexible to suit your location. Coffee Breaks can be hosted in your home, workplace, school, community hall, local park – wherever!
In 2011 more friends, workmates, students, community groups and families got together in support of Oxfam’s Biggest Coffee Break than ever before with over 1000 Coffee Breaks hosted and more than 40,000 people taking part.
In 2012 more hosts and participants than ever will take part in something big. Join them by hosting your very own Coffee Break this May and together we can celebrate fairness in good company.
Money raised at your Coffee Break will make a big difference in the lives of people across the Pacific and Southeast Asia. Let us show you how.

New for 2012 – something special just for schools
Teachers and students are invited to take part in the inaugural celebration of Oxfam’s Biggest Chocolate Break. Chocolate Break is a sweet twist on Coffee Break and although the basics remain the same, schools participating in Oxfam’s Biggest Chocolate Break will receive tailored resources and ideas on how students of all ages can learn about fair choices in a fun way and help make a big difference in the lives of people living in poverty in the world’s poorest countries. Find out more about Oxfam's Biggest Chocolate Break or go right ahead and sign up.
Our sponsors
Oxfam's Biggest Coffee Break and Chocolate Break are made possible by our good mates Caffe L'affare, All Good, Whittaker's, Kokako and our newest sponsor, Scarborough Fair. They all choose to work within the Fairtrade system to bring about real change for producers in developing countries and we're delighted to be working with them.
