Come and share our pancakes with an exciting range of fair trade toppings at Wesley memorial Church on Shrove Tuesday (1st March) 6pm – 7.30pm.
We will be talking about fair trade and the impact of climate change and launching our campaign to put
Fairness at the Heart of our Climate Ambitions.
Climate change is a threat to entire communities, their livelihoods, their way of life and their survival.   We plan to work with others to highlight and change this.
Come – eat – talk
and find out how an inclusive and fair Oxford can influence change.
