World Poverty Day

By Sunniva on April 16, 2010

The election campaign World Poverty Day is this weekend.

All main party leaders will mark the election campaign ‘World Poverty Day’ on Sunday 18 April by outlining their visions of how the UK should act on its responsibility to the wider world.

David Cameron is expected to visit a leading aid agency, Nick Clegg will speak at a church in New Malden, Surrey, on Sunday, and Gordon Brown will address an audience in Milton Keynes on international development on Saturday afternoon. The Green Party, SNP and Plaid Cymru are also participating in World Poverty Day with press statements and visits to anti-poverty events.
