Fairtrade Committee

The Fairtrade Committee meets approximately every other month although times and locations vary according to the availability of the 8-10 committee members.  The meetings are minuted and notes distributed by email
The group hold events to raise awareness of Fairtrade in Windermere and were responsible for providing the Fairtrade Signs as well as a leaflet about businesses supplying Fairtrade products
 
On World Fairtrade Day (May 10th), the Windermere and Bowness Fairtrade Town Group held a coffee morning to celebrate 10 years of the Group's work in the community and the first awarding of the Fairtrade Town Status
Allan Winrow, Mayor of Windermere and Bowness, kindly cut the celebratory cake which was enjoyed by the many people who had come along to help the group celebrate. Allan thanked the group for the work they had done to raise the profile of Fairtrade in the community and the quality of their cakes (made with many Fairtrade ingredients)

There was a lovely display of collages illustrating the Fairtrade theme which had been made by the students at St Cuthbert's Primary School, Goodly Dale Primary School and The Windermere Preparatory School

The photograph shows Jenny Baker, the coordinator of the Fairtrade Group, sitting with the Mayor and joined by some of the members of the Fairtrade Group. Allan thanked the group for the work they had done to raise the profile of Fairtrade in the community
