We are Citizens Essex, a Citizens UK Chapter with a local alliance in Colchester and alliances developing in Chelmsford and Southend.

Our Chapter is formed of 10 churches, mosques, universities and community groups.

Since our founding in 2019, we have:

• Won a campaign to create the first inclusive women-only swimming pool in Colchester.
• Secured vital funding for youth work in Essex.
• Listened to 1,000 people to identify a common agenda to hold the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner to account.
