Charity Support

Fairtrade

St Peter's supports the Fair Trade movement in its desire to gain greater equity in international trade and its contribution to sustainable development by ensuring that disadvantaged farmers and workers in the developing world get a better deal.

 

The Fair Trade movement has grown enormously since it was first established in the 1950s with many people now regularly purchasing Fairtrade products during their weekly shop.  But there is still more to do, if the world is to truly be a fairer place to live.

 

Events are held at St Peter's supports each year the awareness raising Fairtrade Fortnight (28th February - 13th March 2011)

 

The Children's Society

The Children's Society is a leading children's charity committed to making childhood better for all children in the UK

Our Christingle raised £160.69 for The Children's Society.  Many thanks for all your support.
