We are a membership organisation which anyone in Scotland with an interest in Malawi can join. We are non-governmental and politically neutral. We exist to support our members and we are led by members. We have over 1,000 member organisations and key individuals, including half Scotland's local authorities, every Scottish university and most of its colleges, 200 primary and secondary schools, doze

ns of different churches and faith-based groups, hospitals, businesses, charities and NGOs, and a wide range of grass-root community-based organisations. Our work permeates almost all aspects of Scottish civil society. We exist to inspire the people and organisations of Scotland to be involved with Malawi in an informed, coordinated and effective way for the benefit of both nations. We do this by harnessing experience, expertise and enthusiasm across Scotland and providing forums where ideas, activities and information can be shared between our members. Our work isn't just about 'international development', with donors on one side and recipients on the other. It's about partnership, about joint working, and about friendship. Our project is to build connections and collaboration on a multi-sectoral basis between two small nations in ways that are transformational for both. There is no template for doing this. So far as we know, we are the first to develop this model of partnership.

We've set up a bursary to remember our friend and colleague Catherine Newman. Travel was a huge part of Catherine's life, and she was passionate about bringing more young people into the Fair Trade movement. So we're raising funds to take young people to International Fair Trade Towns Conferences around the world - giving them a memorable experience, and inspiring them to campaign for fairness.

If you'd like to donate to the fund, visit our website.
