Here at the Collective we are busy preparing for exciting Fair Trade events in 2010 – so busy that our Christmas Market wrap up is rather belated!
We would like to thank all of the people who made the Fair Trade Christmas market such a success – the dedicated volunteers, stall holders and of course, the shoppers! Your ethical purchases count, and will make a difference to the artisans and their communities around the world.
Marymac Community Centre, 616 Ipswich Rd, Annerley
