Cherry Burton Fairtrade & Local Produce Project

Back by popular demand, there will be another Fairtrade Breakfast on Saturday March 10th, from 9 to 11.30am in the St. Michael Centre. Come and start the weekend in style, with breakfast served to your table, to include local sourced bacon butty, Fairtrade cereal and fruit juice, toast, and tea or coffee. Donations, with any proceeds to charity. To ensure your place, let Wendy know you are coming on 01964 552330.

Great news! Fairtrade supporters are officially Guiness World Record Breakers! On World Fair Trade Day in May 2011 supporters across the country made the Longest Line of Bunting – all 3,427.94 metres of it! Cherry Burton contributed some 75 metres to this massive total, so many congratulations to everyone involved.

Cherry Burton Football team with new Fairtrade balls

Soccer stars of the future will now be taking the Fairtrade message to all their matches, thanks to the donation of Fairtrade match balls to Cherry Burton youngsters. Boys from the Under-13s team lined up to receive the new balls from Group Secretary, Ros Stanley, recently, and are looking forward to a successful new season, and approved of the “excellent quality” of their new balls.
