Biddulph Fair-trade Town status renewed

Biddulph has received Fairtrade Town status for a further two years. In granting the renewal, the Fairtrade Foundation commented, “it is clear that Fairtrade is continuing to grow in Biddulph and… it is great to see how engaged the Fairtrade group are with Sainsbury’s, local churches, schools and community groups”. Gillian Reynolds, secretary to the Fairtrade Town group, said “I personally would like to add my own appreciation of the support for Fairtrade from the Biddulph community: especially from the members of Biddulph Town Council, and in the ongoing events such as the Open Cafe during the Biddulph festival each summer, and the Fairtrade Fortnight events that are put on each year by schools, churches and community groups.”
