TUNBRIDGE WELLS FAIRTRADE TOWN GROUP
"Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream" Amos 5:24
Fairtrade Fortnight 2007 - The Chocolate Project 2007 marked the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire. Sadly there is a huge body of evidence that slavery still exists today in various forms, not least in the production of cocoa products. For Fairtrade Fortnight, schools all over town created multi-coloured eggs to create a community art installation in the centre of Tunbridge Wells. Official certificate of Fairtrade Town status Mayor, Mr Ron Weeden received a certificate on behalf of the people of Tunbridge Wells marking out the town’s newly achieved Fairtrade Town status. This was a fantastic step, supported by the Borough Council, schools, businesses and the people of Tunbridge Wells.
