On Sunday 6th September, we will run the 2009 Freshnlo Great Scottish Run, 10k.
We have chosen to raise funds for the World Development Movement (WDM), an organisation that campaigns to tackle the root causes of poverty, by lobbying governments and companies to change the policies that keep people poor.
This is not a very well-known organisation but they do an awful lot of good through their campaigning activities.
Over the years WDM has scored many campaign victories in their fight for justice for the world's poor; from helping the poorest countries in the world get their unfair debts cancelled, campaigning for fair trade and against undemocratic trade deals, to fighting the case for affordable water for all.
For example, WDM was a founding member of the Fairtrade foundation, the Jubilee Debt campaign, the Trade Justice Movement and more recently Make Poverty History.
