Fairtrade Fortnight is on the horizon and Carlisle Fairtrade Group would like to invite you to a Fairtrade Coffee Morning on Saturday March 3rd from 10-12 in the Old Town Hall, Carlisle City Centre. It’s your opportunity to Take a Step for Fairtrade, come along, bring a friend & enjoy a Fairtrade tea or coffee and delicious homemade baking made with Fairtrade & local ingredients.
The highlight of Fairtrade Fortnight in Carlisle will be a Fairtrade Schools Conference taking place on 1st March at James Rennie School. Pupils & teachers from primary & secondary schools in Carlisle & North Cumbria are invited to take part in this special one day event. It will be an inspiring day for all with Joe Human MBE & representative of a small holder tea plantation in Malawi, Francis Chisuse. St. Margaret Mary’s School, Carlisle’s 1st Fairtrade School will give a presentation on their Fairtrade journey and there will be a wide range of workshops for students to enjoy-including a Big Brother style activity run by the Carlisle Youth Zone.
