People & Planet is a student-led campaigning organisation and we have a passionate commitment to democracy as part of our vision for a better world. Our grass-roots network of student groups choose all our campaigns and decide on the direction they will take.
In addition to this, students can get involved in running the organisation as a whole by supporting other student groups, helping us to organise events and participating in discussions on the development and direction of the organisation as a whole.
Fundraising
Network fundraising is a key factor in our democracy. We can only develop and respond to the ideas of the network if we have the financial resources available to do so. Money received from grants given by other charities and NGOs, the government or companies often has restrictions attached, so the more money we can raise from our network, the greater financial independence we will have to respond to their demands.
Get Involved
We passionately believe that everyone who campaigns with us should get involved in making these decisions, and that it should be fun and easy to do so! This applies equally to both our sixth form and university members.
In this section you can read all about how our democracy works and how to get involved.
