Doncaster Minster congratulates Fairtrade Doncaster
Church Warden, Clive House, Development Officer,Louise O’Brien and Vicar, Rev Paul Shackerley.
Senior staff at Doncaster Minster expressed their support for Fairtrade Doncaster. The Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster is very active in its promotion of Fairtrade and towards the end of 2013 a new Fairtrade Borough Steering Group was set up to support work with businesses, schools, Doncaster College, faith and community groups.
Coordinator of Fairtrade Yorkshire, Mark Dawson, met with the Vicar of the Minster, Paul Shackerley, and members of his team, to discuss the role of the churches and Fairtrade in Doncaster Borough.
Mark commented ‘It was great to meet the team at the Minster which plays a strong role in the life of the town. Fairtrade Doncaster has gone from strength to strength and it is always a pleasure to visit the town. It is important that Fairtrade has a strong presence here, not least because Doncaster is such a significant retail “hotspot.”
