Claire was a key member of the steering group that helped St Albans Council to get Fairtrade status back in March this year. There is a need for people and groups to get involved to ensure St Albans doesn&#8217;t lose it again. As a Club we were pleased to be able to tell Claire that we have\u00a0agreed that we will be Fairtrade from now on by always serving Fairtrade tea, coffee and biscuits at our meetings. Sadly Claire is moving out of the area, but the Club will keep in touch with the St Albans Fairtrade steering group.<\/p>\n<p>Claire McCreesh is pictured here with Helen Byrne, the Club&#8217;s Immediate Past President and Membership Officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a lively and interesting meeting in July when Claire McCreesh came to the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1092,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[31,14,43,70,12,60,11,71,13],"class_list":["post-1091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news","category-club-projects","tag-charity","tag-club","tag-coffee","tag-fairtrade","tag-soroptimist","tag-soroptimist-international","tag-st-albans","tag-sustainable","tag-women"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FAIRTRADE IN ST ALBANS | News | Blog | Events | SI St Albans and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI St Albans and District : Blog &amp; News : FAIRTRADE IN ST ALBANS : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI St Albans and District .
