TRAIDCRAFT
Traidcraft is the UK's
leading fair trade organisation, fighting poverty
through trade. Established in 1979 as a Christian
response to poverty, we combine a trading company
and a development charity. Our vision is a world
freed from the scandal of poverty, where trade is
just, and people and communities can flourish.
Traidcraft pioneers the development of fair trade
by:
• building lasting relationships with small-scale
producers in developing countries
• supporting people to trade out of poverty
• working to bring about trade justice
• being open and transparent about our practices.

NATIONAL CHURCHES TRUST
Their objective is not just to ensure that
churches attain the minimum standards of any historic
building, but also to encourage their continual use and
embellishments as centres of local community life.

The
Activities of Churches Together in Sudbury and District:
The churches of Sudbury and District co-operate in four
annual joint services of celebration. They share in
daily prayer during the Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity and arrange joint activities in Lent. They support
work with young people through Eden's in Gainsborough
Street and Crusaders on the Springlands Estate. They
actively support many other initiatives, such as the
campaign to preserve adequate health care in the area,
and the weekly prayer breakfasts.
The Kettle & Fish at St Peters, Market Hill, Sudbury, is
a Christian presence in the centre of the town. It is
open most Thursdays from 10 am to 3 pm. Here you will
find spiritual and physical refreshment. We offer tea,
coffee, soup, toast, cakes; Traidcraft Stall; Christian
Bookshop; talk with friends; Local Church and other
information; Listening Ear; Prayer Corner; and at 1pm,
Thought for the Day. Sudbury churches work together to
serve the community.
Sudbury Way Inn, a soup kitchen for the homeless, opened
on Good Friday 2005 at the Catholic Hall. It is now open
every Monday, Thursday and Saturday, 7 – 9 pm, at the
Salvation Army, Station Road. The long-term aim is to
establish a night shelter for the homeless in Sudbury.
The team of volunteers includes members of many local
churches.
We are part of the national movement Churches Together
in England.
