Lancashire based Fair Trade campaigner Bruce Crowther has launched a fundraising appeal to finance a book about his life in the Fair TradeTowns movement.

Bruce, 61, has set a target of raising £1,900 in 30 days. The book entitled: 'Not in My Lifetime - A Fair Trade Campaigner's Journal' will provide a first hand account of Bruce's pioneering role in the international Fair Trade Towns movement and much more besides.

It is due to be published on November 22 this year - which will be the 20th anniversary of the Lancashire market town of Garstang becoming the world's first Fair Trade town.
