Your Local Fairtrade Town Group may host Community Events that churches in the area can join in with, or they may lend out Fairtrade resources, or man a Fairtrade Stall at your church fete, or donate an item for a Fairtrade Raffle. They may be able to sponsor one child to attend a Fairtrade Schools Conference, to make it financially easier for your school. See the Fairtrade Yorkshire site for links to Local Town & Village Groups
