We are a Fairtrade church

We are very pleased to be able to announce that
St Mary & St John's has become a Fairtrade Church.

To become a Fairtrade church we have committed to:

• Using Fairtrade tea and coffee for all meetings for which we have responsibility and after services.
• Moving forward on using other Fairtrade products (such as sugar, biscuits and fruit)
• Promoting Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight and during the year through events, worship and other activities whenever possible.

By pledging this, we have been declared a Fairtrade Church by the Fairtrade Foundation joining many other churches and places around the country. One on-going way that we can all help is by buying Fairtrade goods marked with the Fairtrade symbol. This guarantees that the people who actually grew the crops are paid a fair living wage for them.

If you want further information please visit the Fairtrade Foundation's website.
