Welcome to Greenpeace! We’re building a better future, and everyone has a part to play.
Fossil fuel giants are buying influence. Far-right forces are attacking climate progress. But real power lies with ordinary people taking collective action.
Together, we can fight for thriving nature, clean air and water and affordable renewable energy for communities across the UK.
Join the growing movement driving bold climate and nature action from the ground up.

Can't wait to get involved? Here's what you can get started with today:
“I wanted to get involved with Greenpeace simply because I was tired of seeing news stories about climate change and not being able to do anything about it. In my current role as a social media coordinator I spread awareness about local campaigns, educate our local community about environmental issues affecting them and encourage as much action as we can. The Leeds group has been super friendly from day one, welcoming me in and giving me the help I need to get up to speed. Being able to volunteer with a group like this is so rewarding and it really feels like we're all working together with the same passions and drives.”
Alice, Social Media Coordinator for Greenpeace Leeds
“I’ve surprised myself by doing things I’d normally run from. Now, I join most local group activities, go out stickering, and help run campaign stalls. I have felt supported and encouraged to recently take on a role coordinating Greenpeace Manchester. I’m learning new skills all the time and I’m so glad I took that first step. It’s opened up so many new possibilities and a sense of belonging!”
Yunus, Local Group Coordinator for Greenpeace Manchester
