On 28/2/15, the Fairtrade Steering Group celebrated the 1st anniversary of the launch of the Fairtrade Stall. Trading started during Fairtrade Fortnight 2014 and the stall has been opened every day since. Products on sale include sweets, drinks and bracelets. The members of the Fairtrade Steering Group man the stall and carry out the same duties as any confectionery business- monitoring stock levels, date checking and replenishment. Responsibility also lies with them to make decisions on selling new products. Opening of the stall has been extended in recent months to Parents' Evenings and concerts and has now become a permanent feature of these whole school events. To see more pictures click here
In November 2014, the group visited our suppliers 'One World Shop' in Edinburgh where they learned more about the plight of farmers in third world countries and the importance of supporting the Fairtrade cause. As a reward for the group's collective efforts in running the stall, a visit to the ice-rink in Princes Street was also organised as part of the day.
One World Shop recently issued a certificate in recognition of the huge sales that the Clyde Valley High School Fairtrade Stall has managed to generate. £2245.37 was raised in 2014 and as of today's date this figure has increased to £3042.74
