Fairtrade Fortnight 2010 runs from Monday February 22nd through to Sunday March 7th March.

This year's theme is The Big Swap, where we are asking you to swap your regular purchases for Fairtrade alternatives.

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is going 100% FairTrade! To find out more and to enter their special competition, go to http://www.100fair-trades.com/

Christ Church Bedford was the first church in the St Albans Diocese to become FairTrade certified - back in 2005.
We have a Fair Trade stall after the 10am service on the 1st and 3rd Sunday each month and extra stalls in the run up to Christmas.

The stall sells the usual things - chocolate, tea  & coffee along with less well known FT foods - rice, pasta, sugar, jam, kitchen towels and a host of other tasty foods.

The concept behind FairTrade is to ensure that the producers of the items get a wage that allows them to support their families.

You can find out more about FairTrade in general from the FairTrade foundation website.
