Fairtrade Window Stickers In Woodbridge Shops

We have recently created two window stickers to help raise awareness of Fairtrade in Woodbridge. One is a general ‘Support Fairtrade in Woodbridge’ sticker which we would encourage people to display in their cars, homes, schools etc. The other says ‘Proud to sell Fairtrade here in Woodbridge’. We are giving one of these to each shop, catering establishment, hotel and B&B in the area who sell or provide Fairtrade products. Each sticker is 10cm square and can be attached to the inside of any window. They are ‘self cling’ and can be moved around as required.

If you would like a sticker to display in your window, please call Marc Fowler on 01394 470473 or email info@fairtradeforwoodbridge.org.uk

We have already distributed the ‘Proud to Sell Fairtrade’ stickers to the following businesses, so look out for them when you shop in Woodbridge; The Bull Hotel, Boots, Browsers, Budgens, Co-Op, Costa, Georgian Coffee Shop, Oxfam, Le Chocolat Belge, St Mary’s House.

Playing Fair at Woodbridge School

On Friday 21st November 2008 we presented a number of Fairtrade rugby balls to Woodbridge School. Since our campaign began in 2004, we have been donating Fairtrade football and rugby balls to schools as and when we have had the funds to do so. We are pleased to say that every school in Woodbridge has now received balls from us. We have felt from the beginning that this has been an excellent way to remind our children to “Choose Fairtrade in Woodbridge”

Woodbridge Officially a Fairtrade Town

We are proud to announce that as of Saturday 23rd February 2008, Woodbridge is an official Fairtrade Town. Our application was sent to the Fairtrade Foundation in January and the decision has come in time for an official presentation at the Fair Trade Fashion show this Saturday (see previous post).

Fairtrade For Woodbridge wishes to thank all those who have worked to make this possible. More details of this and our activities over the coming Fairtrade Fortnight (25th Feb-9th Mar) will appear here shortly so please check back again soon after reading about the events below.
