Ledbury's Market Caf will be the place to put the world to rights on Monday, April 11.

The venue will have a brief name change to The People's Caf from 7pm to 9pm, when visitors will be asked to "play for politician" in the name of trade justice and the Make Poverty History campaign.

Just before talks begin, Pete Kelsall, of Christian Aid, will give a ten-minute address, underneath the Market House.

Round the table conversations will be encouraged by Perry Walker, of the New Economics Foundation, who will ask some tough questions.

He said: "Farmers in the UK depend on subsidies to make farms viable, but subsidised crops can threaten the livelihoods of farmers in developing countries. Where do you draw the balance?"

Other events for the campaign's Global Action Week include a Trade Justice service on Sunday at Ledbury Methodist Church, the Homend, at 10.30am, when the preacher will be Bob Ball, of Malvern Development Education Centre.

There will be a Make Poverty History vigil at St Katherine's Chapel on Wednesday from 10am to 4pm and a street signing of Trade Justice voting cards on Tuesday and Friday.

On Thursday, there will be a Trade Justice sandwich lunch at the Burgage Hall from 12.45pm to 1.45pm. Sandwiches are provided and the suggested donation is £2.
