Choosing Fairtrade Makes a Difference
Every cup of coffee, every bar of chocolate, every bunch of bananas helps build a fairer future.
What Fairtrade Stands For
Fairtrade is a global movement working to ensure farmers and workers receive fair prices, safe working conditions, and better opportunities. By choosing Fairtrade products, we help communities build stronger futures through sustainable farming, education, and fairer trading practices.
Why Fairtrade Matters
At Purley URC, we believe that justice, compassion, and stewardship are central to our calling. Supporting Fairtrade is one way we live out these values — by standing alongside communities who are often exploited by global trade systems.
Fairtrade is commitments to:
- Ethical and sustainable living
- Global justice
- Caring for creation
- Supporting vulnerable communities
Promoting Fairtrade Fortnight
We highlight Fairtrade Fortnight each year, with notices, information in our Re-United publication and in our worship.
Raising Awareness
We encourage each other to pray for the work of the Fairtrade organsiation and keep in mind the different ways that we as individuals can support such work.

Please see the noticeboard in the church foyer for more information about the Fairtrade Foundation.
