About Us
"Join the Chocolution" is a new community initiative aimed at elevating the voices of cocoa-growing communities in the UK. Through activities, events, festivals, and forums, the goal is to support cocoa farmers and focus on social and environmental justice, while standing against trafficking, slavery, and forced labor.
The Norwich Chocolate Festival in October 2025 will showcase these commitments, offering an immersive experience with exhibitions, discussions, and action-oriented activities. Over time, the event will expand and connect with other locations and initiatives to drive global change in the cocoa industry.
What We’re Doing
Join the Chocolution isn’t just about raising awareness – we want to be actively working to bring about change. Here are some of the ways we want to make an impact:
-
Community Engagement: We’re building a participatory community where people in the UK can directly engage with cocoa-growing communities, learn from their experiences, and take action in solidarity with them.
-
Educational Campaigns: Through workshops, events, and online content, we educate consumers about the issues within the cocoa industry and the importance of conscious consumption.
-
Fundraising & Support: We are committed to raising funds to directly support cocoa farming communities through initiatives and projects led directly by them.
-
Collaborations & Partnerships: We would love to work with brands, organisations, and individuals who share our vision of just and more sustainable cocoa industry. By partnering with like-minded people, we aim to make a wider, more lasting impact on the cocoa supply chain.
