Citizens UK

Citizens UK is a grassroots charity focused on tackling social division, racism, and hatred. They operate as a community organizing network, empowering local groups to address issues affecting their communities. They are newsworthy due to their inclusion as one of five partner charities in the Guardian's Hope appeal, which raised over £1 million to support organizations working against social division and extremism. The appeal specifically aimed to support charities campaigning against anti-migrant rhetoric and the re-emergence of racism. Citizens UK's involvement highlights their relevance in the current climate of increasing social division and their role in providing a positive antidote through community-based action. Their work is significant as it offers a means for local communities to address these issues directly and advocate for change.
