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.

Public Meetings: Generally two or three a year.
Members Meetings: Again two or three a year. They offer a chance to get to know one another better, and to make ourselves better informed. It is also a good opportunity for prospective members to find out more about WDM.
Pub Meetings:
Next: Monday 15th Dec, 8-10pm, Bath Hotel, Victoria Street, Sheffield.
The monthly pub meetings provide a chance to debate and understand issues and generate creative ideas about how to change things. We don’t want them just to be about discussion, we want some action to come out of them and hopefully kickoff more projects like the climate ark. At the moment we're focusing on trade issues. We’re very welcoming. For lots more information see: http://wdmsheffield.pbwiki.com.
