About Us
Fairtrade
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
St John's has been a Fairtrade church since 2006. There is a Fairtrade stall after the main Sunday morning service every week and we use Fairtrade beverages and biscuits after services and for all meetings for which we have responsibility. Since 2010 we have been using Fairtrade communion wine too!
