South London

South London Citizens

Who are we?

South London Citizens is the second oldest Citizens UK Chapter (after TELCO), and is formed of eight local alliances (Croydon, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Peckham, Southwark, Wandsworth) building power for the common good south of the Thames. We believe in the ability of everyday people to come together and create meaningful change in their communities and beyond.

We are an alliance of 100+ organisations, including schools, universities, churches, mosques, synagogues, migrant groups, charities, GP surgeries, and other community organisations.

Together, we organise to tackle injustice in our local communities.

We are currently campaigning on affordable housing, youth safety, migrant rights, mental health, parenting, the climate crisis and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) provision.

The Covid-19 pandemic put an unprecedented strain on everyone’s mental health.

To respond to this challenge, community leaders in South London Citizens worked with local NHS Mental Health Trusts, NHS Commissioners and Local Council leaders to develop a plan to support the community to recover together.
