Fairtrade

The Fairtrade Foundation guarantees Third World producers a fair and stable price for their products. Over four million farmers and their families benefit from the added income and security. Fairtrade provides a premium to be invested in the communities – clean water, health care, education and environment. By purchasing fairtrade goods you not only get great produce but you are also helping many disadvantaged people. Kelvedon URC registered as a Fairtrade Church in March 2005. As part of our commitment to Trade Justice we have undertaken to: 1) Use Fairtrade tea and coffee for all meetings for which Kelvedon United Reformed Church has a responsibility. 2) Move forward on using other Fairtrade products such as biscuits, sugar, fruit. 3) Promote Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight and through other activities whenever possible. We are pleased to announce that on the fouth Sunday of every month Rose will hold a Fairtrade stall in the Church Halls. Fairtrade produce is available at the Co-op, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, and Tesco; as well as from Traidcraft outlets such as the Kelvedon Fairtrade outlet run by Rose Loy at 150 High Street. Rose is a representative for both Traidcraft and Tearcraft (the trading limb of Tearfund) Shared Earth and Bishopston Trading. She has in stock: a range of organic cotton clothes from Bishopston Trading for adults and children, Divine chocolates, fairly traded foods, crafts, toys, jewellery, and much more.
