The Club @ St John’s enjoyed a delicious lunch and sampled Fairtrade food
A social group for the over 50s marked World Fair Trade Day with a special event in Wembley on Saturday.
The Club @ St John’s enjoyed a delicious lunch and sampled Fairtrade food at St John’s Community Centre in St John’s Road.
Cllr Nana Asante, a Harrow councillor who is a member of Brent Fairtrade Steering Group, gave a talk on the issue.
Cllr Asante, who is also the deputy Mayor of Harrow and chairperson of Harrow Fairtrade Campaign, congratulated Brent on becoming a Fairtrade borough adding that Harrow is working towards achieving similar status.
Brent became a Fairtrade borough last February.
This means the borough is committed to selling, using and promoting Fairtrade products.
World Fair Trade Day takes place on the second Saturday in May each year.
