Become a campaigner

Campaigning for change is at the heart of what ActionAid does – and a big part of that is our global network of passionate campaigners, spanning more than 25 countries. They have fun, help shape our strategy, and make real, positive change to people’s lives.

In the UK, our network of 'community campaigners' take action locally to tackle poverty and injustice. In the last few years they’ve lobbied their MPs, represented ActionAid at festivals and marches, written posts for our blog, and much more. Our campaigners are all different, so they support our campaigns in different ways. But they all go the extra mile to help us change lives for good.

Want to join the network? Take a look at the Community Campaigner role description, and sign up below.

What’s it like being part of our campaign network?

“I became a child sponsor for ActionAid in 1982 when I was bringing up my own three children. I worked as a nutritionist which made me even more aware of the plight of mothers unable to feed their children properly, and wanted to help just a little. I increased my support by becoming a community campaigner in 2011.

“I’ve built up a good rapport with my local MP. She doesn’t always vote the way I would like but I feel I am winning her over gradually. I have learnt such a lot about the causes of poverty, and about how the political system works. For all the seriousness of the issues we have a lot of fun on the way too.” – Mary Cannon
