World Fair Trade Day. Vegetarian Meal at St Columba’s Church Hall, Priory Street, to mark the day. Entertainment from the Soundsfun choir and Djembebash. Arranged by York Fair Trade Forum. Tickets and more details available soon from Fairer World.
World Fair Trade Day is celebrated on and around the second Saturday of May all over the world. Fairer World always tries to mark the occasion, but we haven’t decided how to do so this year. E.g. in the past we’ve had Eswatini or Palestinian product tasting & served Ugandan coffee to mark the climate warming threat to the coffee farmers on Mount Elgon, Uganda. Suggestions welcome.
The building work to address subsidence at the front of the Fairer World shop has been finished and we have a new shop! – cleaned and decorated – ready for business. Here’s a recent photo. Some say it will never look like this again!
After extensive building work we are now open again for business.
Easter Eggs in stock and available to be ordered

Please look out for more information nearer the time. Continue reading
