“Our mission at Peterborough Citizens UK is a people power alliance of diverse local communities working together for the common good. Our mission is to develop local leaders, strengthen local organisations which are the lifeblood of their communities and make change. We are a non-partisan group working with 19 organisations across the city, 15 000 voices, for a common goal voted by the citizens of Peterborough.”

Introducing Peterborough City's first people power organisation working on creating systemic change through the methodology of Community Organising. Power is the ability to make change.

Community Organising is for people who are unhappy with the ways things are and want to do something about it; for people who feel powerless or frustrated with the system, or worried about the range of challenges the country is facing.

By teaching people how to listen, form a team, relate to people in power and hold decision makers to account, we tip the balance of power back towards people facing injustice. People Power enables us to make sure that people’s voices are heard and that unfairness can be challenged with those with the power to make change.

Our method of Community Organising and our training is rooted in alliances of local member organisations who form the social fabric of their communities. We organise with everyone from faith groups to universities, schools, colleges, unions, resident associations and more.

If you care about making real change for your community with your community - come join us on this prestigious event alongside our key decision makers in the City.

Please Note: we aim to make this event as accessible as possible for our community. If you have any access requirements, including childcare, please contact jacqueline.fleming@peterborough.ac.uk
