FAIR TRADE
On second Sundays of the month, after church, there will be available Fair Trade foods and confectionery to purchase, supplied by Tearcraft. Do make use of this opportunity. And are you buying Fair Trade bananas in the supermarkets? If we don’t, bananas are likely to become a fruit that we only remember as they will not be in our shops at all.
