UKYCC activists at climate march in city

OUR TEAM

The UKYCC organising members are the reason we achieve what we do.

 

The countless hours given to campaigns, communications, and groundwork are why we celebrate each one.

 

Base UK-wide, our members specialise in roles across a variety of working groups. Some have been here several years, others joined just months ago!

Meet the team below!
