'The Fields of the poor may produce abundant food but injustice sweeps it away.' Proverbs 13.23

Holy Trinity & St Saviour's are Fairtrade Churches.

We have committed to:

  • Use Fairtrade tea and coffee for all meetings for which we have responsibility.
  • Move forward on using other Fairtrade products (such as sugar, biscuits, fruit)
  • Promote Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight - and through other activities whenever possible.
  • The SPLAT youth group at St Saviour's (supported by Jo Birkby) and Holy Trinity (Jan Velissarides) will be setting up a monthly stall of Fairtrade products (alternating between St Saviour's & Holy Trinity), offering some more unusual items such as pasta, peanuts, honey and fruit snacks as well as tea, coffee etc. In addition, Val Harris will be selling a range of Tearcraft products - jewellery, crafts and cards (perfect Christmas presents). The dates for these sales are:
  • St Saviour's: Sunday 27th April 2008 and Sunday 8th June 2008
  • Holy Trinity: Sunday 4th May 2008 and Sunday 6th July 2008
