Campaigns on Climate Justice and Food Speculation are on-going with the Bradford and Leeds World Development Group. To be informed on issues of climate change, speculation on the international food markets or other global issues affecting the poorest on our planet, Heather suggests you i) email her to receive short newsletters from the World Development Group, ii) check out the C of E website via Views to International Affairs and Food Justice and Climate Justice.

Heather and others are available for assemblies, etc as Christian Aid volunteer teachers.

Bradford is a Fairtrade Diocese

The Fairtrade Foundation has confirmed that Bradford is a Fairtrade Diocese. This means that more than 50% of the churches in the Diocese serve Fairtrade products. The campaign continues with the goal of 100% of Diocesan churches coming on board. 

Each year many churches take part in Fairtrade Fortnight, an annual campaign running after the New Year. Go to the website to find out more.
