Monday 9th September 2024 marks the start of this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight, and this year celebrates 30 years of the Fairtrade Mark.
Running until Sunday 22nd September, there will be a Yorkshire-wide show of support for Fairtrade with Fairtrade groups across the county being encouraged to display the 30th birthday posters, and you can see the Revd Canon Ned Lunn and Elaine and Mike de Villiers of our Eco Group, alongside some young Fairtrade supporters, at Bradford Cathedral in our snap!
Fairtrade Yorkshire will be posting photos every day during Fairtrade Fortnight on their social media, and they have started a gallery of photos on their website.
You can find out more about Fairtrade on our pop-up stall in the Cathedral during the two weeks, and we are also holding our Big Brew on the 22nd September and all are welcome to come along for that.
Elsewhere in the Diocese, St. John’s in Ben Rhydding is having a Fairtrade and second hand fashion show. Look out for more details about this – and much more – to be announced!
