In March 2006 the church registered to become a FAIRTRADE church. Each year during the Fairtrade fortnight we hold a service celebrating the work and aspirations that fairtrade seeks to bring to the world and we continue to promote Fairtrade goods at all our events.
Each year the congregation select a charity to support for their ‘HARVEST PROJECT’ – a list of the charities which have been supported is here.
