Fairtrade Shopping Bags

Members of the Windermere & Bowness Fairtrade
Group, pictured below, with Paul Liddell (Managing Director) at
Lakelovers. The group would like to thank Lakelovers Self Catering
for generously sponsoring the Fairtrade Shopping Bags.
Five hundred jute shopping bags bearing the
Fairtrade
logo and the words "Windermere & Bowness Fairtrade Town" arrived at the
end of July and are on sale in many local retail outlets and TIC's.
The bags are produced through CORR, a womans' non profit making
handicraft, marketing and exporting trust in Bangladesh. Buying
the bags, which are on sale for £5 can help give social and economic
dignity to disadvantaged and neglected people in Bangladesh as well as
supporting the environment and creating an awareness of Fairtrade in the
town.
The Fairtrade Group would also wish to thank
Cumbrian Cottages and the Lake District Nation Park Sustainability Fund
for their sponsorship.
The bags can also be obtained from Judith Bird on
015394 44742.

Jenny Baker said "We would like to thank Lakelovers
for their generous donation which enabled us to purchase the bags and
produce the directories."
