Children and young people.

St Andrew's and Trinity try hard to be a child-friendly Churches. Children of all ages are welcome to stay in Church for the whole service, but usually they leave during the service for activities more suitable for their ages.

At St Andrew's Pre-school children have a creche, with lots of toys. School age children have Sunday School.

Trinity operate a Sunday school for the 5 to 11 age group, and creche facilities are available if needed.

Fair trade

Fair Trade logo St Andrew's and Trinity are fairtrade churches. This means that any tea or coffee, or even toilet rolls, that we buy for use in church carries the fair trade mark. A good place to find out more about fair trade is here at Traidcraft.

St Andrew's regularly have a Traidcraft stall in church, run by Mrs Margaret Walton.

(The occasional non-fairtrade items in the church kitchens are donations - we do not feel that we can refuse gifts, but we would encourage all members of Church to buy fairly traded goods wherever they can.)
