Join us for an evening of Fairtrade Fashion, featuring a selection of clothing ranges for all ages. See the styles with the chance to buy a whole new outfit and accessories to match from an array of stall holders from varying organisations and charities that support Fairtrade or sell Fairtrade products. We’ll also be airing ‘Lift the Label’ – a Tear Fund Film that uncovers the production process of clothes and challenges you to make a real difference by choosing Fairtrade, and a presentation from Mandy McIntosh on the lives of Fairtrade clothing producers.

The recession is having a major impact on families and individuals, both in terms of employment and debt. We will be hearing from speakers with first hand experience of supporting people through debt issues, including Lincoln Credit Union and the CAB. We will also be sharing news and information on volunteering for those seeking to get back into work and gathering information on training requirements for organisations in 2010. We would love you to come along for what should be an informative and interactive morning.
Places are limited to 30 and will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so if you are interested please contact Sue at the volunteer centre to register your place.
