Fairlie Fairtrade Initiative and Fairlie Church’s Kirk Café will be putting on the kettle to raise money for Traidcraft Exchange in an extra special way.
They will be holding a ‘Big Brew’ coffee morning on Thursday 1st March in Fairlie Parish Church to support the charity’s ‘Hidden Entrepreneur’ Appeal which focuses on people in developing countries who have the talent and determination to succeed, but lack the opportunity.
In an extra special twist, this year every donation will be matched by the UK Government meaning twice as much money goes to help people build businesses and create a better future for their families and communities.
Kate Dixon, Fundraising Manager at Traidcraft Exchange, said: ‘Everyone who holds or attends a Big Brew event will be helping people in countries like Kenya, Bangladesh and Senegal learn the skills they need to turn their potential into profit – and use that to feed their families and educate their kids. Anyone who donates to our Hidden Entrepreneur appeal before 11th April this year will have their donation matched by the UK Government so we can help twice as many people.’
For more details about the Big Brew, contact Gabrielle on 01475 568 112. Anyone wanting to support the Hidden Entrepreneur Appeal can donate online at www.traidcraft.org.uk/donate "
