Please use our Traidcraft stall



Dianne and Rob Thew have been our Traidcraft reps since 2004.				Lily (assistant)
You'll see them behind their fortnightly Traidcraft stall in the lobby of The Arches after our 10:30 Sunday service (if you come to the 9:00 service, don't worry - they set up from 10:00, so you should be able to catch them on your way out). There's a wide range of products on offer, from snacks like chocolate and biscuits to kitchen ingredients such as pasta and rice - and, of course, tea and coffee in a variety of forms. There are even loo rolls and notecards! It's a lot of hard work unpacking everything - let's make sure they've got less to put away afterwards! E verything they raise goes towards supporting producers in the developing world. But if you develop a real liking for anything, please buy it from a supermarket - we really need to let the major multiples see that there's a demand for fairly traded products! And if they don't already stock it, ask them if they will.

Did you know...?

The Holy Trinity kitchen in The Arches uses exclusively fairly traded products, where available.

Dianne and Rob can supply anything that's in the Traidcraft catalogue - so if they don't have it, they can quickly order it. Ideal for Christmas!

Traidcraft products include crafts, textiles and gifts as well as food and drink.

Many places of work are switching over to fairly traded coffees, teas and sugars. Why not ask your employers? DIanne and Rob will be happy to supply you, or you could ask your employer to source from a local supermarket, or they could ask their regular supplier to supply fairly traded products.
