Founded in March 2019, Citizens Somerset builds diverse alliances of communities across Somerset, launching with Taunton and West Somerset, that organise for power, social justice and the common good.

Our member organisations are churches, schools, youth organisations and other civil society groups.

We are non-partisan, but we promote greater democratic participation in public life. Our broad-based community organising method helps ordinary people to secure a seat at the table with those in power and negotiate for change on the issues which matter to us.

If you are interested in joining as a member organisation, please get in touch at somerset@citizensuk.org
