World Development Movement

"The people of the lesser developed countries have suffered so much. But there are those who try to change this sad situation. I give thanks to WDM and its work."Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Welcome to the Cambridge World Development Movement group

The Cambridge WDM group has been meeting since 1975 and currently has around 12 active members and fifty supporters. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month (see details below) at the house of a member to discuss issues and campaigns, and always welcome new additions to the group. Our Campaigns Leaflet contains lots of useful lobbying information.

Cambridge WDM have been particularly active in promoting Fair Trade locally and we produced the Fair Trade Guide to Cambridge with funding from Cambridge City Council. To view the map, follow  the link: FT Map 2007, or to access Fair Trade listings: www.justsolutions.eu/FTStart.html.

In memory of Pat, our longstanding WDM member who died last year, we are raising money for the Medical Foundation for the Care of the Victims of Torture (http://www.torturecare.org.uk/), a very worthy cause and one that was close to Pat's heart. Do give generously!! It is very easy; just go to http://www.justgiving.com/patsalmanpour
