TRAIDCRAFT
The Catering Team and several groups at Oakwood Church use some FAIRTRADE products
We operate a fundraising stall at some Church Events and after some Services
The TRAIDCRAFT website below explains why we use FAIRTRADE products and how the money we raise is spent
Thank you for your continuing support
‘A poor man's field may produce an abundant harvest but injustice sweeps it away’ Proverbs 13:23
FAIRTRADE is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world
Here at Oakwood Church we support those aspirations by having a FAIRTRADE stall once a month in the New Room (after Church Parade on the 2nd Sunday of each month) where you can purchase many different items such as chocolate, coffee, tea, rice cakes, jewellery, Geobars and dried fruit. Many other items are available too, such as clothes, bags, scarves and household items. Please borrow a catalogue and have a browse
As well as supporting Traidcraft, 10% of all sales goes to support the work of Oakwood Church
Did you know that over 1.2 million bananas are sold in the UK every year, but only 1 in 3 of these is FAIRTRADE?
