West London Citizens
Who are we?
We are West London Citizens, a Citizens UK Chapter. 58,000 people form our alliance from schools, universities, trade unions, faith groups, charities and community groups.
Together, we organise and campaign on issues affecting our local communities to overcome injustice and bring about change.
Since our founding in 2006, we have:
- Successfully campaigned for Heathrow Airport and Westfield Shopping Centre to become Living Wage employers.
- Started the Mass for Migrants movement in 2006 – which continues to this day.
- Campaigned and won a £200,000 investment from the local council towards a local park in Hammersmith and Fulham
- Campaigned for road safety, winning a brand new zebra crossing outside a local primary school in White City
- And much more!
What are we fighting for?
Since Spring 2023, West London Citizens have been working collaboratively across four boroughs to campaign for a Living Wage for all health and social care workers.
- Recently we succeeded in encouraging all 9 NHS Trusts in North West London to Accredit as Living Wage employers - resulting in pay rises for 1670 workers!
We are also organising on a number of local issues including:
- A Community Land Trust homes campaign in Ealing alongside Renters Rights workshops.
- Ealing has become a Living Wage Place and is working to increase the numbers of Living Wage employers in the borough
- A campaign for a Youth Zone in Feltham and for better conditions for asylum seekers in Hounslow
