A number of people from within the church community and the wider community of Purley have spoken to me about this œ expressing concern about the effects of such a withdrawal on our community life. I was glad to hear of that concern, but words of sympathy and concern alone are not enough. They will change nothing. What is needed is our action œ that has a real possibility to affect outcomes. So if you are concerned about the abolition of the Post Office Card Account, please do something to put that concern into action. Write to Martin Salter MP and ask him to sign the Early Day Motion tabled by Kate Hoey. (At the time of writing œ 9 March 263 MP's had signed it.) 1 THE RIGHT TO JUSTICE Whilst on this subject of words of concern becoming deeds of action, I would like to draw your attention to another matter of great importance.

See also www.johnmadeley.co.uk. 2 FAIRTRADE IN READING Introduction The Directory pages published here are based primarily on the contents of the online Fairtrade Directory for Reading. The latest version of this can always be found at: www.readingfairtrade.org.uk/directory. The Directory includes fairtrade retailers, shops and cafés in particular, but also local groups from the voluntary sector which promote fairtrade; fairtrade faith groups; some information about local schools; organisations which support fairtrade; and local businesses which promote fairtrade in the workplace. For this edition we have added in other resources, information and quotations. The introductory text below is taken from our leaflet entitled Fairtrade in Reading 2010. What is Fairtrade all about? Most farmers and workers in poorer countries do not earn enough from their products to house, eat, clothe or educate their families. Fairtrade works to change that. Farmers get a fair price and products are produced in a sustainable way. It promotes direct links and relationships between producers and consumers. Fairtrade especially benefits small scale farmers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
