The Fairtrade Christmas Tree was in good place again this year in St Peter’s. The Christmas Tree Festival attracted a record number of visitors which enjoyed the lovely atmosphere and could get acquainted with all the active Sudbury Associations which we are proud to be part of.

I Spy Fairtrade

Over half-term (Oct 26th-Nov 3rd 2013) , the Sudbury Fairtrade Group invited everyone to spot some of the shops and other organisations which support Fairtrade. We are grateful to the 11 local shops which displayed a Fairtrade poster and to Waitrose for donating the prizes.

A Fairtrade prize IMG_4238was given to a correct entry with the best Tiebreaker.The prizes kindly donated by Waitrose were presented by David Ayre, the Personnel Manager of Waitrose, Sudbury.

9th May 2013: Fairtrade Fun Fete was a success!

DSC02395The After School Fairtrade Fun Fete took place in St Peter’s the 9th May and attracted enthusiastic children (and parents) from the area. They enjoyed the bouncy castle and various traditional games.

Thank you to all the bakers of buns and cakes and to those who are not part of our regular crew who joined in.

Sudbury on show 2 February 2013

The Sudbury Fairtrade group had a stall for awareness raising at the Exhibition “Sudbury on Show” : over 100 local clubs and societies were displaying and advertising their activities in the Town Hall and in St Peter’s. A great opportunity for Fairtrade Sudbury to be “on show” and interact with the other groups.
