promoting and encouraging the use of Fairtrade products
attracting media coverage
further raising awareness of the Fairtrade Mark

You may charge for the event or raise funds through stalls etc, but the Fairtrade tea and coffee must be free
You might want to link up with neighbouring churches to host an event together with a bigger impact in a strategic location

3. It is an outreach event for the churches, so outsiders must be invited Information about Fair Trade should be available at the place where the Big Brew Fairtrade tea and coffee are being served

4. The more churches take part, the more people will be really aware of a big event taking place

5. Traidcraft provides discounted catering packs and Big Brew posters and flyers.  To order these, download a Big Brew order form

The scale of the event is entirely up to the individual church – the benefit is that all the churches are doing something for their community on the same day. It generates fun, a sense of togetherness and promotes Fairtrade both within the church and in the wider community, as we work together to become a Fairtrade Diocese

The success of individual church events will be based on the numbers that attend – resulting from the church’s own publicity, but also by general press and media coverage within the Diocese

Success for the Diocese will lie in your enjoyment in taking part, and the number of churches participating in sharing with their community the importance to the producers of Fair Trade

The Fairtrade Foundation has leaflets and posters about Fairtrade; bunting, T-shirts, aprons, balloons and lots more
