We are currently halfway through Fairtrade Fortnight. St Cuthbert’s Church has recently become a Fairtrade Church and we will have Traidcraft products available at our monthly coffee mornings.
‘Choosing Fairtrade means standing with farmers for fairness and equality, against some of the biggest challenges the world faces. It means farmers creating change, from investing in climate friendly farming techniques to developing women in leadership. With Fairtrade you change the world a little bit every day. Through simple shopping choices you are showing businesses and governments that you believe in fair and just trade.’ Fairtrade
