People & Planet is the biggest student organisation in the UK campaigning on poverty, human rights and the environment. We have a campaign record of changing the behaviour of governments, corporations and billion-pound investment funds. We have 22 staff, the largest student network in Europe and tens of thousands of supporters. We recently won the British Environment and Media Award’s Best Campaign award for our Green League.
“People & Planet is a wonderful organisation - full of passion, commitment and enthusiasm - qualities that have come through in the work that we have done with People & Planet both as a funder and a collaborator on policy work. You often meet people and find that their first connection with campaigning work was as a member of a People & Planet or formerly a Third World First group. That is the organisation’s ultimate legacy; generations of people who are shamed by the problems that diminish our society and who say to themselves ‘this is unacceptable and I can do something about it.”
