Jack Doherty, chair of the Bexhill Fairtrade Community group, urged everyone to embrace the message of "Change, Change, and Change" by making conscious shopping choices, promoting Fairtrade products at work, and reducing carbon footprints. With support from sponsors and local leaders, Bexhill continues to push for justice and care for the planet, showing how individual actions can drive meaningful change.
Bexhill Fairtrade Town committee and community go as a Fair Bunch celebrating marvellous achievements on the 30th Birthday of Fairtrade. Every purchase of a Fairtrade item eg tea coffee chocolate banana marmalade sugar guarantees the producer's family out of poverty, malnutrition and hazards into the dignity of running water, education, combatting climate destruction and a future with real hope. Jack Doherty, chair of Bexhill Fairtrade Community group, said. we can summarise our message in 3 words ' Change Change and Change ' - change your shopping choices to Fairtrade items, change your workplace/cafe etc to Fairtrade tea coffee sugar gusto Cola AND change your behaviour everywhere to cut your carbon production for electricity, travel, water and recycling, reuse and recharge.
