Traidcraft’s Tweet of the Month
Fairtrader Shoutout
A special shout out this month goes to our longstanding Fairtrader, Margaret Davis. Margaret has been a Fairtrader for 21 years, successfully running St Gerant’s Traidcraft at her church. Her turnaround over the past 10 years has been a staggering £52,000, and her impressive November Christmas Fayre took around £1,000. On top of that, she’s sending a donation of £400 to Traidcraft Exchange from her profits and is looking forward to holding a Big Brew event on 9th March. Margaret told us that her best sellers are fruit and nut muesli, coffee and biscuits. "Margaret does a fantastic job of organising and selling the goods. She's a great asset to our church." Steven Hyatt, St Gerants Amazing work Margaret, thank you for all that you do, from all of us at Team Traidcraft. 2

Not only is @StLaurenceLud a breathtaking building, did you know that it's also a certified @FairtradeUK church? It serves Fairtrade communion wine, tea and coffee and has a regular @Traidcraft stall.
