FAIR TRADE
Our Fair Trade Stall is returning to the Parish Centre alongside Tea and Coffee after Mass on Sunday Morning

We would love to be able to provide Fair Trade goods every Sunday but in order to do that we will need volunteers to help cover some of the Sunday morning slots.
If you would like to help out please contact Graham or Briege on 01706 868697.

• St Vincent's Parish supports Fair Trade and is well on its way to becoming a Fair Trade Parish.

These are the criteria:
 1. Use Fair Trade tea and coffee when serving refreshments
 2. Move forward in using other Fair Trade Products such as sugar, biscuits and fruit.
 3. Promote Fair Trade in Fair Trade Fortnight and through events, worship and other activities throughout the year.

We invite you to join Traidcraft on a journey stretching over forty years of UK fair trade, fighting for them and fighting with them. Why not embark upon your own fair trade journey by choosing to buy your fair trade goods from our collection.

Climate change is a huge challenge for farmers and workers in countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia and Honduras, yet these are the countries who have contributed least to the causes of climate change. Droughts, crop disease, floods, heatwaves and shrinking harvests are among the challenges they face. When the Fairtrade Foundation spoke to some of these farmers, they were told that they felt climate change was one of the biggest obstacles their generation is facing. They also commented that only with more money would they feel equipped to meet their everyday needs and deal with the devastating challenges climate change brings.

Choosing to buy fair trade, ethical food and drink is everyday activism, and is the simplest way to change the world. Through fair trade, farmers and growers can earn enough to feed their families, send their children to school, provide a future for their local community and look into solutions to the problems they face due to climate change.

Five Good Traidcraft Reasons to buy FAIRTRADE goods.

1. FAIRTRADE means fair prices for farmers in the developing world.

2. Farmers who get a fair price can invest in their families and communities and trade their way out of poverty.

3. Many of the farmers who produce our first meal or drink of the day miss out themselves. 

4. Buying FAIRTRADE doesn't have to cost more.

5. Products with a FAIRTRADE logo have met international FAIRTRADE standards.

Your support will make a difference. Thank you
