Join the Network

Would you like to join our News Network? Membership is free and simply means we will keep you informed of all local FT news and events. News updates are sent out by e-mail or paper, so you can sign up to either and will not miss a thing.

You can of course sign up for a more active role as we are always looking for more volunteers to organise and run local events. All details from Helen.

SGFTN has now compiled a directory of where you can buy fairly traded goods in and around South Gloucestershire. Click here to see the latest directory.

If you would like to display or distribute copies of the printed directory, please contact Helen for details

Traidcraft Goods

Would you like to sell Traidcraft goods at your local church or community event? If so please contact Edna or Helen who can help with advice and goods on a sale or return basis.
