Unite to End Global Hunger: 8th June 2013

Currently 1 in 8 people do not have enough food to eat.

We produce enough food to feed the world, and yet people still go hungry.

It is not fair, and it doesn’t have to be like this.

 

On Saturday, 8th June 2013 please stand in solidarity and join us as we journey to London for a rally in Hyde Park where we will meet with thousands of campaigners and supporters of the ‘Enough Food for Everyone IF’ coalition to call on the G8 leaders to unite to end global hunger.

This will be a day to remember and we would like to encourage you to be part of this day. The two main events are an Ecumenical Service at 11:30am in Westminster Central Hall, followed by the G8 rally in Hyde Park at 2pm.

Travel plans for 8th June 2013 can be downloaded here: Travel arrangements.

Katja and I will be traveling at these times, and so even if you have never been in London before, and aren’t sure of where you are going, don’t let that stop you as we would love to have you join us.

Please note we are able to subsidise some travel costs for the day.

Wirral Coastal Walk!

Starting at approximately 10am, you can choose the number of miles that you walk ranging from 4 – 15 miles, with plenty of opportunities for refreshment breaks and a picnic along the way.

This fantastic coastline starts off with views across the River Mersey to Liverpool and the huge dock complex, passing the small seaside town of New Brighton and on to the beautiful beach lined coast against the Irish Sea.
