Fair Trade Day

From Saturday 16 February 2008, Wilford's churchwarden Eddie Mason is moving his fairtrade shop (called Fairtrade Souq) to within the INSIGHT Christian Bookshop and Coffee Shop at 99 Tamworth Road in Long Eaton.

Ask Eddie about it or call him at the shop on 9725778.

Fair Trade at Wilford

Spring Sale on Saturday 8 March

The Spring Sale day has many new season items and it's a great opportunity to pick up fairly traded goods.

You can buy many of the same products all year round. After a Sunday morning service once a month, the main hall is filled with gifts, fashion, cards, decorations, toys, jewellery.

Fairly traded gifts, cards, clothes and food
benefits those producers in poorer countries directly

BOLIVIA - a current focus for projects; helping people help themselves, their communities through our support of TEARFUND. Bolivia is the 64th poorest country in the world (the UK is the 12th richest). Population is 8.8 million (less than greater London) and life expectancy is 64 years. From Bolivia, TRAIDCRAFT buys recycled glass products (lovely glasses and jugs), pasta with quinoa, and Brazil nuts for cookies and snacks - all available on our Fair Trade stall.

Many people of Wilford Church support FairTrade.
We have a good range of Traidcraft and TearFund items.

There is usually a stall in the Church Hall after morning service on 2nd Sunday of the month
