Stockport Fairtrade and Sustainability Fair November 2022
After a gap of three years we were able to hold our annual fair at the Guildhall, Stockport. Sadly some of the businesses who used to attend are now no longer trading, but we did have good support from many of our regulars and also some new faces. We extended our criteria to include care for the environment as this is such an important issue now. Here are a few photos of the event.
Fairtrade Fortnight 26 February – 6 March 2022
