Haworth Fairtrade Group held another successful event on Friday 30th November. Sandy Docherty, a former contestant on the Great British Bake Off, and expert bread maker Mike Armstrong, aka “Baker Mike”,  conducted a Truffles and Treats Master Class to support fundraising for West Lane Baptist Chapel community kitchen. 

Sandy and Mike wowed the audience with their superb skills and delicious bakes. They showed just how easy it is to make beautiful food incorporating fair trade ingredients. 

A big thank you to our local Oxenhope Co-op and the folks at Divine Chocolates for the scrumptious chocolates and goodies they provided to help make the evening a success.

The next Haworth Fair Trade village event  is a walk from Thornton to Haworth on Patrick Bronte’ s birthday, 17 March 2019. This event, held in collaboration with the Bronte Parsonage, will highlight Patrick’s work in bringing sanitation to Haworth and fighting for workers rights; issues which are still central to the Fair Trade movement today.

Haworth Fairtrade Group invite you to join us for a Masterclass with Sandy Docherty and Baker Mike. A festive, fun evening watching these masters at work.

Sandy Docherty, former contestant on The Great British Bake Off 2015, and Mike Armstrong, aka ‘Baker Mike,’ will be our special guests and instructors.

10 Years After

We are very pleased to be able to remind ourselves and to tell you that we have now been a Fairtrade Village for 10 years. To mark that event we had a little get together in the Old Hall pub on Monday 3 December at 7.oopm. Chris Upton and Rita Verity spoke to mark the occasion and many people came to help us celebrate and brought their ideas for the next 10 years. Many thanks to Ian Palmer for the photograph below. Find more of his photos of the event on the Haworth Village website here.

Chris Upton, Rita Verity, Liz Barker, Ann Wiles and Annie Williams celebrate with cake!

As a group we participated in the 90KG challenge and sold the lot to help farmers in Malawi send their children to school.

Good news time. The Fair Trade Way has been launched. Have a look at the website and maybe even have a go at a day or 6!

The Fair Trade Way is a long-distance footpath is designed as a 6-day walk between Garstang (The World’s first Fairtrade Town) and Keswick (A very active Fairtrade Town). It is designed to promote the positive impact that using Fairtrade products can have on the lives of people who suffer whilst they produce the resources that we in the more wealthy countries consume in our everyday lives. On this route, walkers are encouraged to use Fairtrade food, drinks and accommodation serving Fairtrade products when they are walking.
