HAVE YOU TRIED FAIRTRADE YET?
Five Goals to a Fair Trade Town
-
Town Council passes a resolution supporting Fairtrade.
Winchcombe Town Council passed a resolution supporting Fair Trade in May 2005.
-
A range of at least 2 Fairtrade products are readily available in at least 3 shops in the town and at least 3 catering establishments.
Shops: The Co-op store, Food Fanatics, Keelings Newsagents and Sweetbox all stock at least two Fairtrade Mark products and Sprogs stocks a wide range of Fair Trade children's toys.
Catering: The Old Tea House; Lady Jane’s Tea Shop, Juri's Tea Rooms, Raja Balti and Sudeley Castle Tea Rooms all use Fair Trade products.
B & B’s: ‘Mercia’ and ‘Isbourne Manor House’ both use Fair Trade products.
-
Fairtrade products are used by a number of local work places and community organisations.
Fair Trade products are used at Winchcombe Abbey C of E Primary School; Winchcombe School; English Country School; St Peter's Anglican Church; St Nicholas RC Church; Methodist Church; Abbey Fields Community Centre; Probus groups. Guides and Brownies, Mothers' Union. Also a wide range of businesses within Winchcombe serve Fairtrade products to their employees and visitors. All of these will be presented with certificates when we declare Winchcombe to be a Fairtrade Town on Saturday 21st July.
-
There is media coverage and popular support for the campaign.
There have been articles about Fair Trade in the Glos Echo; St Peter's magazine; and In Touch (Methodist magazine). Assemblies have been held on the theme in both schools. There was an attendance of over 50 people at a public meeting to launch the campaign and a further 60 people supported the concept by returning response slips following the delivery of a house-to-house leaflet.
-
A local Fairtrade steering group ensures the continued commitment to Fair Trade Town.
An informal steering group was formed in March 2005 and has met on several occasions since – planning the public meeting, the leaflet drop and a Fair Trade Saturday where there was sampling and sale of Fair Trade goods.
