Haslemere Group

The Haslemere Group was an informal group of people, which included many Oxfam staff and its supporters, that took a radical approach to the causes of underdevelopment. It famously produced The Haslemere Declaration on world poverty which was published on 26 March 1968.^[1]

The Declaration also included the claim that the 'exploitation of the Third World is qualitatively similar to, and caused by, the same politic-economic factors which are the basis of poverty in Britain'. ^[2]

It was also noted for organising the lecture delivered by Dom Hélder Câmara, Archbishop of Olinda and Recife (Brazil), at the Haslemere Group's Convention on Poverty is Violence; Exploitation of the Third World, at the Round House, London, in 1969.^[3]
