Programme Action
As part of our on-going Programme Action we regularly fund-raise for The Tiverton Sundarban Support Group - a registered charity that supports community development in Sundarban, a remote village in Northern Bangladesh. The group also provides educational resources for local schools and raises awareness of development issues. - www.tivertonsundarban.org.uk -Bridget Tosh, a long-standing member of our club regularly visits Bangladesh and keeps us informed of the up to date situation.
Churches Housing Action Team helps to provide accommodation for homeless people and we, as a club, have undertaken to provide each month, a washing up bowl containing basic cleaning materials for someone setting up in a house or flat - eg washing up liquid, surface cleaner, cloths, loo cleaner, loo roll, scourer, light bulbs, soap etc. We also provide a cooking dish filled with dry ingredients and a recipe for a simple meal.
At each Club meeting we aim to bring along tinned and dried goods for distribution by CHAT where appropriate.
Tiverton is a Fairtrade Town. Fairtrade goods are offered for sale at several Club meetings throughout the year and at Christmas. www.fairtrade.org.uk
