It’s not too late to sign the Fairtrade Foundation petition and join over 11,000 people who are already asking the UK government to BREW IT FAIR.
In the UK, tea is more than a drink, it’s part of who we are. In fact, we drink over 100 million cups of tea every single day. But while we enjoy the warmth of a brew, many of the people who grow and pick the tea leaves face daily challenges – poverty, unsafe working conditions, and the increasing threat of climate change.
Behind our tea lies a global trade system that is deeply unequal, with power and profits concentrated in the hands of a few. To create this much needed change, businesses and government must come together and take responsibility to stand with tea-growing communities.Tea brings us together. Now it’s time to use our voices for change. Please sign the petition https://action.fairtrade.org.uk/page/171071/petition/1?

AL-ANON UK FOR FAMILIES & FRIENDS OF ALCOHOLICS
Al-Anon provides support for families and friends of alcoholics and problem drinkers who share their experience, strength, & hope in order to solve their common problems. During lockdown many groups have responded by moving their meetings online so that they can continue to provide the necessary support.
The 3 Al-Anon groups that usually meet at Marple Methodist Church are all active online and we would welcome newcomers. The easiest way of accessing our groups as a newcomer is via the Al-Anon website and contacting the helpline: https://www.al-anonuk.org.uk/
The website has lots of very useful information, including podcasts of members’ experience of living with alcoholism and I would encourage all your group members to take a look.
If you would like to attend a meeting to get further insight into how we work you would be very welcome to come to our online open meeting on the last Sunday of every month. Please contact Annette Area 10 PI Coordinator area10al-anonpi@hotmail.com for all the relevant online meeting login details.
