Our young confirmation candidates prepare for their Ascension Day confirmation

We are a "Fairtrade church"

The Fairtrade Foundation asks for a commitment to:

  •  use Fairtrade tea and coffee after services and for all meetings for which we have  responsibility
  •  move forward on using other Fairtrade products (such as sugar, chocolate,  biscuits and fruit)
  •  promoting Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight and during the year through events,  worship and other activities whenever possible

We at All Saints Helmsley have been meeting these requirements for about ten years and now we have the certificate to acknowledge the fact and the backing of the Fairtrade Foundation.

They say,

"Church congregations continue to be invaluable Fairtrade supporters and campaigners. We hope that your members will enjoy Fairtrade products regularly and also tell their friends and family about them. We now have over 3500 Fairtrade products licensed and 392 producer groups worldwide, from Sri Lanka to Ghana to Bolivia to Egypt, who are benefiting from selling to the UK Fairtrade market."
