Organisers of the Event
The Redditch Green Fair is
made possible thanks to the combined efforts of various local green
groups, who originally joined forces to stage the 2006 Fair, under
the banner of Redditch Green Alliance. Since then, the groups
involved have continued to work together on various issues and have
changed their name to Redditch Alliance of Greens(RAG). The alliance
comprises local environmental, ethical and social justice groups,
all working towards a more sustainable town and planet.
