St Peter’s Church, Cogenhoe

St. Peters is a Fairtrade church.

As a Fairtrade church we have pledged to:

-Use Fairtrade tea and coffee for all meetings at which we have responsibility.

- Move forward on using other Fairtrade products such as sugar, biscuits and fruit.

- Promote Fairtrade at events during Fairtrade Fortnight.

Fairtrade is a simple way to make a difference through our everyday choices. It's about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. Fairtrade aims to enable the poorest farmers and workers to improve their position and have more control over their lives.

The Fairtrade mark means that:

- A fair price is paid to the producers.

- Workers on farms get rights under Fairtrade, such as decent wages.

- The producers receive an additional Fairtrade premium, an extra amount of money, to invest in their communities.

- Producers in co-operatives always get a democratic say in decisions - women included.
