Campaigns
We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. This is why our campaigns are created and led by local communities who are ready to do what’s needed to win change
We drive national change across a a range of issues, from reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. Read more about our priority campaigns below.
Citizens UK: Climate Justice
Our planet faces major threats. As Citizens UK we feel responsible to take action because we see the impact of the climate crisis on our cities and across the world right now.
Homelessness
Homelessness cannot be solved without changing hostile policies, as such policies are often the direct cause of people’s homelessness. They deny homeless people a safety net that could prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.
Housing
Housing is a national concern for communities across the UK and a driver of poverty and inequality. We are actively working to tackle poor housing and increase affordable housing in communities across the UK.
Citizens UK: Living Wage for Social Care
Careworkers in the UK have long been short-changed, three quarters earn less than the London Living Wage.
Make London a Living Wage City
Making London a Living Wage City' is a project launched by Citizens UK and Trust for London, to put £635m of wages back into the pockets of low-wage workers in London
Make misogyny a hate crime
Citizens UK is the birthplace of the misogyny hate crime campaign – which began in our Nottingham chapter in 2015. It remains a vital part of our organising work, bringing diverse communities together to find shared solutions to hate, harassment and division.
Parent Action
Parent Action is a space for people to connect, develop and grow. Helping families to build the confidence and abilities to create change in their lives and in their communities.
Refugees and Migrants Welcome
We are not helpless. Get involved in one of our campaigns to support refugees and people living without documented status.
School-based Counselling

The campaign for a real Living Wage
The campaign for a Living Wage is a movement of independent businesses, organisations and citizens who believe a fair day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. Launched by Citizens UK in 2001, the Living Wage campaign and Living Wage Foundation have won nearly £1.3 billion of additional wages for the lowest paid workers.
