ABOUT US
We are a not-for-profit organisation, campaigning for the UK to rapidly transition to 100% clean energy and for this to benefit local communities.
Power for People was founded in 2017 and we are funded by UK registered trusts, including those listed below, and the generous donations of individuals. We run campaigns that involve citizens and local communities and call on them to lobby their elected representatives for changes in the law or government policy.
