CLOTHES for cash - it's a fair trade.
That will be the message at St James' Church in Walshaw Road, Bury, on Saturday April 23 when it stages a fashion show as part of the Make Poverty History campaign.
All the companies supplying clothes and accessories for the show are committed to fair trade across the world. This means they trade with poor and marginalised producer groups, enabling them to become economically self-sufficient. They pay fair prices that cover the full cost of production, and encourage the fair treatment of workers, ensuring good working conditions and paying living wages.
The fashion show, which starts at 7pm, offers the public the chance to see and buy fairly traded clothes and learn more about the people and co-operatives that make them.
