Fairtrade Fortnight

Posted on 29 January 2021

Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 22nd Feb to 7th March.

The Fairtrade Foundation need your help to put farmers’  voices at the heart of tackling the climate crisis and share the reality of their struggles. Our global trading system is balanced in favour of the powerful few. Trapped in this system, farmers already struggle to meet their immediate needs. More than ever, they need a fair price for their crops and their hard work.

Fairtrade works to raise the voices of farmers and workers and prioritise what they need to respond to the environmental crises unfolding in already vulnerable communities. This Fortnight, we are asking you to ‘Choose the World You Want’ and use your voice to tell others about the challenges that farmers face from climate change.

We will be hosting an online festival bringing together schools, universities, businesses, supporters, campaigners and farmers from across the world to choose the world they want.

Some of our team were away today so we couldn't do as many repairs as usual. Apologies to those who couldn't get a booking and we are very full for the next one already on the electrical side, although we will have space for sewing repairs.

Big thanks to all who braved the weather today, especially to our wonderful team who are faced with unpredictable and often very challenging repairs, but handle them with a smile and a cheerful conversation.

Have you got a spare 10 minutes to help us protect our coastline?

This Thursday (17 August) we’re hosting a beach clean to make sure that our shoreline is looking its best during the last weeks of summer.

The beach clean will be going on from 10am to midday. No booking is required, and all equipment is provided.

Anyone wanting to take part should meet at the Coastal Office, between the Pier and the Lido on the promenade.

The event forms part of our Big Clean Up initiative, which has seen a series of beach cleans and litter picks take part across our town.

May Close allotment producing so much this year - this was yesterday's yield, to be shared among our volunteers and any surplus to go to a local food bank.
Big thanks to Tom, Michael and Sally for coming to help. Lovely to see Tracey, her daughter Rachel and to meet Tracey's grand-daughter Evelyn, who popped in to see us.
