Fairtrade Fifth Birthday Party - Saturday 27 March
Chesham will be celebrating its 5th year as a Fairtrade Town in March. Now that's something worth celebrating, so
Chesham4Fairtrade is having a big birthday party and you're all invited!
Chesham4Fairtrade is taking over Chesham Town Hall (off the High Street, HP5 1DS -
view a location map) for the day and putting on a host of activities, including a cookery demonstration, Fairtrade cafe, children's activities, talks and local producer stalls. The party is taking place on
Saturday 27th March and it starts at
10 am.
From 10 am to 4 pm there will be a range of activities to occupy all ages. The guest speakers include Sally Reith from
Shared Interest, the co-operative lending society working to reduce poverty through fair and just financial services. There will also be a live link to Ghana to demonstrate first hand the impact of Fairtrade in developing countries.
There will be plenty of tasty treats on offer thanks to a Fairtrade Cafe, local producer stalls and the Go Bananas cookery demonstration. You can also help judge the great Birthday Bake-Off competition by sampling the entries and choosing your favourite.
Entry is just £1 for adults (kids go free) with all entrants going into a draw to win a Fairtrade and local hamper.
Do come along and help Chesham celebrate the difference made by buying Fairtrade over the last 5 years.
