Big Fairtrade Breakfast
“BEFORE YOU FINISH EATING BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING, YOU’VE DEPENDED ON MORE THAN HALF THE WORLD”
Martin Luther King Jr, A Christmas sermon on peace, 1967.
FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT 29th Feb – 13 March 2016
So maybe this morning you enjoyed coffee from Kenya, cocoa from Cote d’Ivoire, tea from India, sugar from Malawi and juice from Brazilian oranges…not forgetting bananas from Colombia!
Hopefully they were Fairtrade!
Fifty years on from Martin Luther King’s famous speech, our lives are more closely entwined than ever. That is why it is a scandal that the people who grow the food we take for granted can’t always feed their own families. They do not have food security.
We can do something to tackle this injustice and support farmers and workers to put food on their families’ tables, by harnessing the power of a Fairtrade breakfast.
Get behind Fairtrade Fortnight and join in the…
BIG FAIRTRADE BREAKFAST!
As we are a Fairtrade Town will you help us get as many people as possible to eat a Fairtrade Breakfast in this community during Fairtrade Fortnight?
Fairtrade Breakfasts will be happening throughout the UK…can you and/or your organization take part in the biggest breakfast the world has ever seen? Go to fairtrade.org.uk/breakfast and for resources and links for more information visit shop.fairtrade.org.uk and fairtrade.org.uk/fortnight
What counts as a Fairtrade Breakfast?
Each person eating one Fairtrade foodstuff and drinking one Fairtrade beverage qualifies and it can be any time of the day! You might have a bowl of Fairtrade muesli with a cup of Fairtrade tea at home, a coffee break with Fairtrade chocolate muffins at work, attending a BIG BREAKFAST, or grabbing a Fairtrade banana and orange juice…they all count – as long as they are registered.
So will you help?
Bring the BIG FAIRTRADE BREAKFAST to Coniston and Torver!
There are 3 simple steps to get involved:
1. Organise your own breakfast.
2. Inspire others to host a breakfast.
3. Register your breakfast on the totaliser at fairtrade.org.uk/breakfast
Do let your local Fairtrade Team know [Every Weds. At St Andrew’s] what you are doing and if they can help.
Together we can make a difference!

Fair Trade at St. Andrew’s
Every Wednesday, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., we are blessed to have a Fair Trade stall at St. Andrew’s church. Here you will be able to find nourishment for body and soul. Homemade soup and fair trade biscuits, coffee and tea are served by warm and friendly volunteers. A stall of fair trade goods is there just in case you want to do a little shopping. The fair trade stall is just inside the door of the church and if you walk through the doors to the nave, you will be able to find some quiet space in which to meditate, bring your cares and concerns to the Lord and hear what God is saying to you.
