Supermarket celebrates Fairtrade
Staff visit school to spread message
A SUPERMARKET has been helping to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight by visiting a middle school.
Sainsbury's in Biggleswade visited Edward Peake to help the children learn about Fairtrade and how it supports farmers and workers in developing countries.
And the children were also given a bag of Fairtrade goodies to take home with them.
Store manager Claire Fielder, said: "Fairtrade Fortnight is a great opportunity for us to get out in the local community and share the importance of supporting Fairtrade.
"At Sainsbury's we are totally committed to supporting Fairtrade as we know that it really can change the lives of communities around the world."
Now 4 million per year goes straight into the pockets of the small farmers growing the fruit, which has helped fund community projects including construction of water tanks, installation of hospital equipment and the renovation of a computer laboratory and resource centre.
For the full story see the Biggleswade Chronicle of Friday, March 5.
