Who we are

Parents For Future UK has a network of over 45,000 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 40 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.

Our values

LOVE

Love for our children, people and nature is rooted in everything we do. It drives our work, relationships and actions.

JUSTICE

Climate justice is centred in our community and work. We believe environmental, social and community struggles are all linked, and support solutions to the climate crisis that create a fairer and more just world.

INCLUSIVITY

We are actively committed to growing an inclusive community. Encouraging individual and community growth.

ACTIVE HOPE

We believe that action, rooted in knowledge and courage, leads to hope.

INDEPENDENCE

We are not tied to any organisation, political party or corporation.

Our Community

At Parents for Future, we create welcoming and supportive spaces where parents can navigate the complexities of the climate crisis together.

We understand the impact on us, our families and communities of:

  • witnessing this crisis
  • the uncertainty of the future
  • and the challenges posed by how much change is needed in a short period of time

Our commitment is to equip parents with the knowledge, support, and tools needed to face these challenges. So no matter how long it takes, we can push for change and still thrive.
