TRAIDCRAFT STOCK

A recent check of the Traidcraft stock held at church revealed that some items had passed their ‘BEST BEFORE’ dates. (I apologise if you have bought any goods which have passed their ‘Best Before’ date but please do let me know if this occurs at any time in the future.) These will be available at a reduced cost during January and include –

Tanzanian Leaf Tea (Best before July 2009 )
Chocolate Geobars (Best before September 2009 )
Tropical Muesli (Best before October 2009 )

It is necessary to reduce the range of stock held and limit the stock to items which have a quick turnover (i.e. regular and frequent sales) and ones with a long storage date.

If I am unable to stock what you would like me to, please try your local shop or supermarket for another Fairly Traded brand. Just make sure you look for the FairTrade logo! These companies might not offer additional facilities, such as schools, for the families of the workers (just an example of some of the work done by Traidcraft) but the FairTrade logo does ensure that the workers are receiving a fair wage.

And please don’t forget to support the activities during FairTrade fortnight from 22nd February to 7th March 2010.
