STROUD MP Neil Carmichael signed the ONE Campaign pledge for the UK to keep its promises to the world’s poorest on Saturday, June 20.
The ONE Campaign was set up by U2 frontman Bono and is an advocacy organization campaigning to end extreme poverty and preventable disease.
Phil Coysh from Churches Together in Stroud said: “We are delighted that Neil Carmichael agreed to sign the pledge.
“It’s important that the new Government keeps to the promises that the UK has made to the poorest of the world and I am pleased that Neil has agreed to do his part to help end extreme poverty and preventable diseases.”
The pledge states: “I believe the UK must keep its promises to the world’s poorest.
“Throughout the next Parliament I will do my part to help end extreme poverty and preventable disease in Africa, with most aid focused on countries that have the least, girls and women at the centre of development and all parts of government working together to build a better and safer world.”
