This year the Fairtrade organisation is holding it’s annual awareness fortnight between February 27th and March 12th. This means that here at MBC Roger Robson and his Beehive team will be manning their stall after the morning service on March 12th and again (just ahead of Easter) on April 2nd.
As in previous years the stall will be heavy with a whole raft of Tradecraft products ranging from greetings cards and hand made jewellery to delicious teas and coffee.
Also there will of course be a chance to buy Real Easter Eggs… “The Real Easter Egg is the only one which has an Easter story booklet in the box, is made of Fairtrade chocolate and makes a donation to charity from its sales”.
If you can’t guarantee being in church on those dates but you would still like to buy some eggs just have a word with Roger, I’m sure he will be delighted to take your order.
Incidentally, there will also be a Fairtrade Coffee Morning with a variety of stalls on Saturday March 18th from 10.30am to 1pm at Chapel Allerton Methodist Centre ,Town Street LS 7. Please support these events to show you support fairness to producers in poorer countries
