Woking Successfully Renews Fairtrade Town Status Having originally been granted Fairtrade Town status in October 2005, we were required to renew this status after 2 years to ensure Woking still meets the criteria set by the Fairtrade Foundation. We heard in July 2008 that we had been successful and were complimented on our schools work and the efforts to engage with members of the mosque in particular. For a copy of the letter from the Fairtrade Foundation click here. »Posted by Becca | 23 July 2008

| What is FAIRTRADE? Through selective buying, you can ensure that the producers at the bottom of the supply chain, such as poor farmers, get a fairer share of the money you spend on their goods. [More on Fairtrade] | ![]() |
| What is the WOKING FAIRTRADE ACTION NETWORK? Our Network promotes the use of Fairtrade products in the borough of Woking. We made Woking a Fairtrade Town. | ![]() |

Fairtrade campaigners across Surrey have decided to go ahead and get a campaign going to make Surrey a Fairtrade County. A side objective is to build a network of campaigners so that experienced groups can more easily support groups which are just setting out on this journey.
Sarah Jewell and John Arnold have come up with the idea of a relay across Surrey in September with an item such as a blow-up banana. A possible agenda might look something like as follows:
1 Tandridge Cycle 08.00 09.30 1.5 hrs
2 Reigate Walkers 10.00 11.30 1.5 hrs
3 Mole Valley Rowing 11.45 13.00 1.25hrs
4 Waverley Cycle etc etc
5 Guildford Canal barge etc etc
6 Woking Horse-ride
7 Elmbridge Bus
8 Runneymead Train
finish Guildford Party (bbq)
Please could WFAN members take a look at this idea and
let me know if you are happy that we as a group commit to going ahead
with it. If you have any immediate further suggestions - or if you'd like
more details, then do let me know.
