Lorna Young Foundation

The Lorna Young Foundation (LYF) is a small UK-based charity established in memory of Lorna Young, a pioneer of fair trade. The foundation’s vision is to eradicate poverty by improving social inclusion, protecting the environment, and strengthening the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. LYF achieves this by promoting ethical trade in the UK and improving access to information and markets for farmers in low-income countries. One of its key initiatives, Farmers’ Voice Radio (FVR), aims to transform the lives of millions of smallholder farmers by producing radio programmes that deliver essential farming information in local languages.
