Who We Are
While attention has been paid to the future of business with Brexit, often the human impact and stories are being forgotten. The Brexit Civil Society Alliance is here to make sure that the concerns, hopes and aspirations of civil society are centre stage as the UK makes its exit from the European Union
We help to give a voice to a wide range of groups in the Brexit process, from across all parts of the UK - connecting Wales, Scotland, Northern and Ireland and England. These voices come from health, human rights, environment, consumer and workers rights, equality, food, farming, trade and education.
Established in July 2017 the Alliance has been active in helping to shape and improve Brexit legislation, connect politicians with civil society and help educate, inform and advocate for those who may feel remote from the Brexit process.
The Alliance is neutral on the 2016 referendum outcome and does not take positions on what direction the Brexit process should take. We seek to raise the concerns of member organisations and work to ensure that the Brexit process delivers on our three principles: open and accountable lawmaking; a high standards UK; and no governance gap after Brexit
The Alliance’s work is made possible by the generous support of the Legal Education Foundations and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. We are hosted by Unlock Democracy.
