As part of this project, we are holding an event on finding out more about Fairtrade, this will be particularly aimed at diverse faith groups who have not previously engaged with Fairtrade to any degree. It takes place at the Unitarinan Hall Bristol on 26 February 2009 (booking form available here).

This event is being organised in partnership with the Bristol Fairtrade co-ordinator Jenny Foster, the Bristol Multifaith Forum and the Bristol Inter Faith Forum.

We are producing a booklet on understanding faith groups for the Co-op, which will be widely available soon. We are also nearing completion of a briefing for faith groups wanting to know more about Fairtrade.  To order one of these publications and for more information on this project, contact Faithnetsouthwest.
