TRAIDCRAFT

TRAIDCRAFT stall will take place after the 9am Mass on Sunday 21 October.  Sadly, Traidcraft have informed us that in the current difficult economic climate and because of recent poor trading figures they could be forced to cease business by the end of 2018 unless a solution can be found in the coming month.  They tell us that it is vitally important to have a very good autumn season if they are to continue and have appealed for people to buy as much as possible from Traidcraft and perhaps to order some of their Christmas cards and presents from their catalogue (we will have some catalogues available on our stall).  It will obviously be devastating for their third world producers and all the Traidcraft staff in Gateshead are facing redundancy.  Please could you help if at all possible.  Howard and Jenny - 01722 336207
