Winding-up the 1,000 mile 'Cut the Carbon' march from Northern Ireland to London, a party of Christian Aid activists enter in the capital this weekend. The march has taken the climate change concern to the doorsteps of public and to businesses and MPs across the nation.

The march, constituting a team of 18 individuals from the UK and the developing world left Bangor in Northern Ireland on 14 July, arrives in central London this Monday. The march will be given a warm welcome to the capital by senior Bishops and then the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone.

A delegation from the group will go to Downing Street with shoelaces which were collected by the marchers from along their march route from the people who had swapped them for Christian Aid Cut the Carbon shoelaces to show their support for the concern.

Hundreds of supporters will be joining the march on Tuesday, for its ending mile from Tooley Street to St Paul's Cathedral. At the end of the march, there will be a rally at 1.00pm followed by a service at 2.00pm. All are invited to come along.

"We've reached out to thousands of people to inspire them to campaign to tackle climate change and have delivered a powerful message to the government that it must act justly by reducing our emissions", said Tim Jones, 26, a walker and an activist of World Development Movement from Herne Hill, London.
