Who are we?
Founded as Third World First, People & Planet has 40 years’ experience of supporting student activism and campaigns to end world poverty, defend human rights and protect the environment.
We are about empowering young people to make a difference in the world; inspiring a generation of activists.
We work with students in schools, colleges and universities. We provide skills training, events, education activities, encouragement and communications to over 25,000 people.
Our vibrant grassroots network of student groups covers 71 universities, and 76 schools and colleges across the UK with over 1,500 active members.
People & Planet is distinctive for putting youth leadership at its heart. We are accountable to a Management Committee, the majority of whom are peer-elected students.
