History of Fairtrade in Mossley

Although the Fairtrade Mossley campaign has only just officially been instated, local volunteer activists have been campaigning for a number of years now. The Social Justice Action Group of Mossley Methodist Church has been actively promoting Fairtrade on the monthly farmers market and throughout the rest of the month at their worship meetings. These crucial activist efforts have attracted a number of local newspapers to write about them on a number of ocassions and here you can see a few examples of this:
