Our service users at Parkhead Resource Centre in Ashington learned all about Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight – including how good the produce tastes.
Our staff shared lots of interesting facts and information about the origins of Fairtrade and how it helps farmers and workers in developing countries, and the local Co-op store kindly brought along some Fairtrade produce for everyone to sample.
The bananas were a pretty popular choice, as our picture shows, but everyone agreed that the Fairtrade chocolate was the best partner for their cups of Fairtrade tea and coffee.
Before the event came to an end, everyone completed a Fairtrade-themed colouring sheet which was presented to the Co-op representative for their shop window display.
