Fairtrade Fortnight

Fairtrade Cafe
 
For this year's Fairtrade Fortnight (27th February - 12th March) we held a 'Fairtrade Cafe' event!
We decided to make it a whole school affair by inviting children and their parents and carers to enjoy an afternoon break, complete with delicious cakes and washed down with Fairtrade tea, coffee and squash. All the cakes were made by the children themselves using Fairtrade ingredients wherever possible. 
 
The event raised just over £165 for the Fairtrade Foundation which supports farmers by ensuring that they receive a fair price for their work as well as extra money to invest in their farms and communities. Our thanks go to everyone who made or bought cakes and refreshments, to our Eco School Team for manning the stalls, and to the Co-op in Crossways for donating many of the ingredients. Well done everyone!
