Fair Trade Fair
In the middle of November, Stockport Fair Trade Group, supported by Stockport Council, held a Fair Trade Fair at Stockport College. The event was a great success, people kept pouring into the college, signing Trade Justice petitions, buying Fair Trade goodies and drinking Fair Trade coffee! The event took over £7000. There were lots of like minded people from Unicorn Grocery, Body Shop, Limited Resources, Oxfam, Gtr Manchester Play Resources, and lots of not so well known stalls such as Fair Trade South Africa, Pachacuti and Fair Trade Footballs. Hopefully turning the excess consumerism of Christmas on its head to provide real benefits for some of the world's poorest people. See you all next year!
