Fairtrade at the Centre

The Fairtrade Foundation recently awar­ded our Centre the status of Fairtrade Temple, which meant mak­ing some pledges

So we’ll be …

• Serving Fairtrade tea and cof­fee at all meet­ings and events we are respons­ible for
• Moving for­ward on using other Fairtrade products such as sugar, bis­cuits and fruit
• Promoting Fairtrade dur­ing Fairtrade Fortnight and dur­ing the year whenever we can

Paul Whitehead from the Centre Team commented:

Trying to make eth­ical con­sumer choices is undoubtedly com­plex, dif­fi­cult, and has many areas of grey, but this feels like a step in the right dir­ec­tion.

We have many gen­er­ous people reg­u­larly donat­ing teas, cof­fees, soya milk and sugar to the Centre’s tea area: this is hugely appre­ci­ated and long may it con­tinue!

It would be fant­astic if people really got behind the Centre’s status as a Fair Trade Temple now, and exten­ded their gen­er­os­ity to the farm­ers of the devel­op­ing world by buy­ing, bring­ing and shar­ing fairly-traded products where possible.
