| Meetings |
| The Malvern Hills Group normally meet on the third Thursday of the month at the Baptist Church Hall, Abbey Road in the centre of Great Malvern. (See the map below). (Look out for different venues for specific events). The meetings feature speakers and presentations from time to time, along with sharing campaign news, planning events, and disseminating materials for human rights campaigning in many different ways concerning both local and international issues. Visitors are always welcome whether or not you are an individual member of Amnesty International itself. |
| Amnesty Bookshop |
| The bookshop is at 3 Edith Walk, Great Malvern, (See the map below) and started trading in June 1998. It was officially opened in October 1998 by Sir Michael Spicer M.P., and the Malvern Group of Amnesty International is grateful to him for his interest in, and support of, Amnesty International. A committee runs the shop and the main organiser is Jenny Morgan who devotes a lot of her own time and money to the cause. The shop is staffed by volunteers - opening hours as below. As well as buying quality second hand books the shop is a good local contact point for information about Amnesty International generally and the latest news of the Malvern Hills group in particular. All donations of books gratefully accepted - and any volunteers to help in the shop would be very welcome. |
