Fairtrade

We support Fair Trade

‘What does the Lord require of us: to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God’  Micah 6:8. 

As a Fairtrade Church we have committed to:- 

Use Fairtrade products wherever possible (at least tea, coffee and sugar) and to share this information with congregants. 

Celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight and integrate Fairtrade into the life of our place of worship through other faith-based holidays, sermons and services. 

Engage with other Fairtrade campaigns and connect with community groups, such as schools and towns, where possible.  

WHat is Fairtrade?

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.

By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.

With Fairtrade you have the power to change the world every day. With simple shopping choices you can get farmers a better deal. And that means they can make their own decisions, control their future and lead the dignified life everyone deserves.
