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.

As we head towards the General Election 2024/25, communities from chapters across Citizens UK are working together on key social justice issues. From the Living Wage, to Racial Justice in Education, Climate Justice and more, everyday people will be driving nationwide change.

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.

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.

Together, we have a proven track record of winning change on the things that you and your community care about most, from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign.
