St Mary’s is a Fairtrade Church. This means that the congregation support the principle of Fairtrade and that we are committed to serve Fairtrade coffee, tea & sugar when refreshments are offered after services or by Church groups.
We also hold a Traidcraft stall after the 9.30 service and the Family Service on the first Sunday of each month, selling a range of Fairtrade food items and beautiful cards, made by a women’s co-operative in Kibera. Copies of the current Traidcraft catalogue are available in the Church Annexe to take home.
To find out more about Traidcraft or to visit its on-line shop, see the Traidcraft website
Many retailers and supermarkets are increasingly responding to public demand and are stocking a wider range of Fairtrade goods. These can always be recognised by the Fairtrade Registration Mark. Leatherhead, Fetcham and Bookham have Fairtrade Town Status and there are many Fairtrade churches, schools, retailers and cafes in the area where you can purchase Fairtrade goods.
