Thanks David
 
Sorry I should have given a link or some more info about Shared Interest. Here
it is;
 
http://www.shared-interest.com/
 
"Shared Interest is a co-operative lending society that aims to reduce poverty
in the world by providing fair and just financial services. We work with fair
trade businesses all over the world, both producers and buyers, providing credit
to help them trade and develop."
 
So basically they have a savings account that, if you want, pays interest to you
and the money you lend them is then in turn loaned to fair trade businesses.
There's a lot more info at the link above.

Hiya, how are we all doing? Hope you had a happy easter.

Speak's regional support worker phoned yesterday asking how we were. Some of the
other Scottish Speak people are still alive and kicking and thinking about
bringing the big dress up north. Do people still get emails and post directly
from Speak?

Events coming up that may be of interest;

Tuesday 22 April 6:30pm Glasgow - Shared Interest are having a reception so
people can learn about those who benefit from their fair lending. Anyone
interested? David?

Friday 18 April 7pm (and Sat & Sun too) - free film showing at Govan about
Pollok Park - http://www.giventot hepeople. org/

Does anyone else have suggestions of something worth going along to?

Take care

Rae
