Community liaison co-ordinator Carleen Cunningham said the 'My Place' program was about getting fair trade out into different communities so tradespeople didn't have to look too far for help and advice.

In a series of workshops in the community she spoke to various groups including the Men's Shed and Barnardos.

"It's all about consumers' rights and responsibilities and the traders' rights," she said.

At St Mary's Catholic School she said people were shopping at an increasingly young age and even thinking about getting credit cards.

She covered everything from internet shopping to mobile phone accounts and warned students about how to avoid going on a bad credit listing.

"They will all be out in the big wide world in the next couple of years and they need to use money properly."

She said while it might not be the most interesting topic for young people it was one that could save them a fortune during a lifetime.

More than 55,000 people across NSW participated in Fair Trading educational programs last year. 

The Member for Dubbo Troy Grant said the program was invaluable featuring information sessions on a range issues including tenancy rights, landlord rights, and fraud avoidance. 

In its final day at Wellington, the roadshow has an all day display at the library.
