Outreach and Fairtrade
St Mary's church has been a Fairtrade Church for 10+ years, using Fairtrade coffee, tea & sugar at all church meetings, services and events. Plus we have a regular Fairtrade table in church after the morning service, where Fairtrade items may be purchased. So do come a have a look.
Fairtrade celebrate 25 years of impact
For 25 years in the UK, Fairtrade and their supporters have been fighting against poverty and inequality, making a real difference to the lives of farmers and workers across the third world.
From working with businesses and governments, teaching about Fairtrade in schools, campaigning and lobbying, to choosing Fairtrade in the shops, you have all been part of this journey.
We are proud to be a Fairtrade Church and nearby we have Banbury which is a Fairtrade Town so let's carry on for the next 25 years, demanding fairer trade and living incomes to allow the work to flourish. You can do this by buying their products.
Look for the mark!

Adderbury Churches Outreach Group Charity 2019/20
Representatives of the Outreach Group all live in Adderbury or Milton and are from the two churches in Adderbury, the Quaker Meeting House or other Christian denominations. The charity chosen by the group to support this year is Christians Against Poverty (CAP).
CAP is a home-grown debt counselling charity which is determined to reduce poverty caused by debt. It partners its financial expertise with the care of the local church (in our area The Peoples Church Banbury) to offer free debt help. CAP’s level of service is unique with clients receiving up to 60 hours of support; all clients receiving face-to-face home visits as well as an optional befriending service from members of the church - in an effort to tackle the common problem of isolation due to poverty.
