You don’t need to be an expert, but you will be active and keen to make a difference.

Power Up is particularly for people working in disadvantaged areas and with groups whose voices are not usually heard in decision making. When you get in touch you’ll be sent an application form to apply for a place.

An introductory ‘taster’ session is available for those who are new to campaigning and planning. Please contact Friends of the Earth for more details.
