Trade Justice
The LMLG is a member of a coalition of local organisations working together to raise
awareness of fair trade and trade justice and played a major role in helping to establish
Leicester’s status as a Fairtrade City in 2002.
The coalition co-ordinates a range of events designed to increase understanding of
trade issues, promote fairtrade and inform people of the impact their consumer choices
can have on global inequality.

Make Poverty History
Make Poverty History is the UK’s voice in the Global Call to Action Against Poverty which aims
to drive forward the struggle against poverty and injustice through a unique alliance of
charities, trade unions, campaigning groups, faith communities and celebrities. Mobilising
around key opportunities in 2005, such as the G8 gathering in Scotland, those involved intend
to influence urgent and meaningful policy change on 3 critical and inextricably linked areas:
TRADE, DEBT and AID.
NSC Education
Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign (NSC) works to address economic disadvantage in Nicaragua by channelling material and moral support to partner
organisations and communities and building solidarity with these organisations and communities.
A New NSC Campaign on education
This year, NSC is launching a new campaign on education. At its heart will be solidarity with the new Nicaraguan government in its efforts
to meet the Millennium Development Goal of a complete primary education for all by 2015. This year marks the halfway mark since that goal
was set by the United Nations in 1999. Yet in Nicaragua the goal is actually receding, as successive governments have been forced by the
IMF and the World Bank to cut public spending.
