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.
The raffle was a great success, which could not have been possible without the generous support of the businesses who donated prizes, including Deja Vu Wines, Global Conduct, Universal Village, African Pacific, Peppermint Magazine, Stress Solution by Judith, Mokosh, Chalk Hotel, The Local Bean and Columbine Hair and Beauty, Kenmore.
Stay tuned for details of upcoming events, including Global Market Day in March, and our event for Fair Trade Fortnight in May.
