Brighton World Fair Trade Day event - Sat 10 May
We are really excited about our World Fair Trade Day event this Saturday 10 May!
Greg Valerio of Cred Jewellery is going to be telling us all about the process of seeking Fair Trade certification for gold and diamonds. So if you’re on the lookout for an ethical engagement or wedding ring, are confused about conflict diamonds and focused on Fair Trade, it really is a must.
The event takes place this Saturday 10 May at The Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton.
If you happen to be in Brighton on Saturday and can tear yourself away from the beach for an hour or two, we’d love to see you there…!
Midday – 2pm – fair trade stalls and information stands
2-3pm – speaker event – ‘Fair Trade that glitters’ - raising awareness of the social and environmental issues surrounding gold and diamonds (going beyond conflict or blood diamonds) and the route towards fair trade certification that Greg Valerio of Cred Jewellery has been spearheading.
Greg will be talking about his experiences to date and what future he sees for fair trade gold and diamonds. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
3-4.30pm – chance to chat to local ethical businesses
4.30pm – late! – chat some more in The Cricketers pub over the road (The Cricketers, Black Lion Street, BN1 1ND)
The event is free but donations to cover costs will be gratefully accepted.
You are very welcome to come along to all or any part of this day-long event.
Hope to see you there!
