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 to Us
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 aligns with our commitments to:
- Ethical and sustainable living
- Global justice
- Caring for creation
- Supporting vulnerable communities
Promoting Fairtrade Fortnight
We highlight Fairtrade Fortnight each year, sharing stories, worship resources, and ways to take action.
Raising Awareness
We help our community learn about Fairtrade through worship, newsletters, displays, and conversations.
Encouraging Ethical Choices
We encourage members and visitors to choose Fairtrade products at home, making a positive impact through daily habits.
