Who we are
Parents For Future UK has a network of over 30,000 supporters. We act through building a resilient community, peaceful gatherings, and creative communications. All our work is rooted in the latest climate science.
Formed in 2019 by a small group of mums, our aim was to inspire and engage more adults to find ways to respond to the climate crisis.
We realised that the climate crisis will impact all children, that leaders aren’t doing enough to protect our kids and that parents have power if we work together.
Today we are the biggest parent climate group in the UK – and growing fast. We value diverse ideas and voices and have built a supportive, inclusive, thriving community online and offline, with over 30 local groups across the UK.
What we do
A safe, thriving environment, is the best thing we could ever give to our children.
And we believe that our voices and actions can make a huge difference when we work TOGETHER. So we:
- Work and partner with others to bring about changes that will address the climate crisis
- Create a supportive community where parents and carers can connect, learn about actions and solutions. And grow our impact in solidarity with the families most impacted by the climate crisis across the world
- Develop local actions and networks so families can make an impact and build resilience within their communities.

FAQs

The future starts now. Our kid’s future starts now. We are working for their today and all their tomorrows.
Our world systems aren’t structured around any thought for the future and that is burning a hole in our planet’s resources. We need future thinking in everything we do.
