Skipton’s sign of the times
Fairtrade Skipton put up a huge sign to announce Fairtrade Fortnight to the town’s many shoppers. The banner was hung in front of Holy Trinity church which occupies an elevated position above the High Street; so it was impossible to miss.
During the Fortnight Skipton’s Fairtrade group held a successful film evening at Skipton Girls’ High School. ‘The People and the Olive’ a film about Palestinian olive growers was shown, together with the Fairtrade short movie ‘Fairtrade Matters’ which features tea growers from Malawi and how Fairtrade has helped them to improve life in their communities.
