Get Involved!

Below are the details of the various groups in Bath and the surrounding area who share our values. We have not included political parties - if you want to join one then their details are easy to find. Right now we are concerned with building a movement from the bottom upwards. In order to build a strong movement we need to strengthen those advocating and working towards real change, and we need them all to work with each other where there is common ground. We expect new groups to form in the aftermath of the election as the cuts start to take their toll. If your group is not on this list, get in touch.
