Fashion Revolution - Friday 26 April at 7pm at St Peters Church
Do you wear clothes? Do you know who made your clothes?
I don't mean which shop they were bought in or which brand they are. Do you know who sat at the machine? What were they paid? How old are they? Were their working conditions safe? How long were their working hours?

When the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed in 2013, 1,134 workers lost their lives and 2,500 were injured. Many clothing companies were not aware of the working conditions or even knew if their garments were made in that factory. There have been fires and other building collapses, both before and after this one, but still we don't think about our involvement in what is ultimately happening. Manufacture of our clothes is the second biggest contributor to Climate Change and our garments have caused harm to many communities.
