TRAIDCRAFT CHRISTMAS CARDS

TRAIDCRAFT CHRISTMAS CARDS – We have a selection of Traidcraft Fairtrade Christmas Cards to view and order in each church. Selling Christmas cards is our biggest fundraiser for the FT stalls in church and our profits from selling them goes towards our parish charitable giving total. Last year we were able to give £200 to Christian Aid and £200 to Save the Children. As they are already charity cards you can see that this is a win-win situation. Please come and look and you will see that they are great value cards.
