World Development
The World Development Appeal (WDA) is launched in the autumn each year. Over the Advent and the Christmas season we aim to raise £500,000, or more, for development projects overseas, with funding channelled through the churches' own aid agencies, Christian Aid and Tearfund.
WDA has been in existence since July 1980, and gives our church members the opportunity to respond to the needs of the poorest and most marginalised of the world's people. We work in long term partnership with the poor, changing lives and communities for the better.
World Development not only aims to raise money but also to raise awareness.
World Development supports the continuing campaign to cancel the debt of poor countries.
World Development supports the Trade and Justice Movement which is working for fairer world trade rules.
