Last Thursday we had  a great morning at the local Red Jelly creative play session set up by the wonderful Tash Tamlyn who invited us to take part and join in with the messy fun.

We met lots of lovely mums and their babies and made footprint pledges as part of our  "Babies first steps" campaign for Fairtrade Fortnight. There was lots of paint and lots of mess and the babies loved it!  All of the footprints were displayed at our Fairtrade event at Brighton and Hove Junior School the following day and for every painting we took to exhibit, we also gave the mums a footprint on a card to take away with them.

We had a great time at Brighton and Hove Junior School on Friday night, taking part in their Fairtrade event. The event was well supported and we met lots of lovely children and parents who were all committed to ‘Take a Step for Fairtrade.  

Fairtrade Fortnight is in full swing and we have already received a great deal of press coverage for our events and activities. Our award winning Bumfluff Nappy Balm was featured in The Independent yesterday and our Relieving Trio of oils was part of the Fairtrade focus in The Metro last Thursday.

We are really looking forward to the New Year. With so many positive changes at the Organic Monkey HQ and lots of ideas floating around in the formulating room, we should be set to expand not only our range but our work force in early 2012.
