Nottingham Citizens
Who are we?
We are Nottingham Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter.
Over 30 organisations form our alliance, from schools, universities, trade unions, faith groups, charities and community groups. Together, we organise to tackle injustices and bring about change in our local communities.
Since our founding in 2013, we have:
- Won a Living Wage for thousands of local people.
- Led our national campaign to make misogyny a hate crime.
- Trained thousands of local people in the city to organise in their communities.
What are we fighting for?
The priority issues voted on by members in our community include:
- Migration Justice.
- Anti-Racism.
- Mental health support.
- A real Living Wage.
We take safeguarding seriously. Read our Safeguarding Policy and Standards.
Citizens UK Safeguarding lead: Safeguarding Lead
