Member testimonials

Why our members stay

From health professionals and faith communities to national charities and grassroots networks, our members come from every corner of the movement - and they've told us, in their own words, why being part of The Climate Coalition matters to them. Whether it's amplifying expertise, connecting with a wider network, or achieving together what none of them could alone, one theme runs through every story below: collective action works better than going it alone. Read their testimonials below. 

The UK Health Alliance on Climate Change (UKHACC)

"The UK Health Alliance on Climate Change has been a member of The Climate Coalition for many years. We continue to find great value in our membership. In particular it enables us to:
  1. Increase our influence - by contributing our expertise on the risks and impact climate change has for health to broader campaigns on climate change.
  2. Learn and collaborate - through connection to a wider network of organisations involved in different aspects of climate change and seeking opportunities where we can have more impact together, rather than as disparate parties.
  3. Increasing awareness amongst our members - by disseminating work undertaken by the coalition across our membership of health professional bodies."

Scottish Communities Climate Action Network

"We're a member of The Climate Coalition because we feel that climate doesn't adhere to people-made borders and this coalition is large enough to cover several countries. That means we can participate in collective action on a grander scale than we could possibly do on our own. P.S. they're also really nice folk!"

Faith for the Climate

"Faith for the Climate's membership of The Climate Coalition creates an organic, virtuous cycle. Our members from different faiths are deeply inspired by our involvement in this larger movement of people who care about people and planet. This, in turn, helps diverse faith communities contribute their insights and experiences to the wider coalition."

National Trust

"As a member of The Climate Coalition, the National Trust benefits from working alongside a wide range of organisations to shape campaigns, share learning and engage the public on climate action. Together, we can achieve a greater impact than any of us could alone."

Hope for the Future

"Hope for the Future is proud to be part of The Climate Coalition because meaningful change happens when we work together. As an organisation dedicated to helping communities build constructive relationships with politicians, we know that decision-makers are more empowered to act when they hear from the full diversity of society. The Coalition amplifies that principle, bringing together organisations with different strengths but a shared commitment to creating a healthier, fairer future for people, climate and nature."

Save the Children

"We’re part of The Climate Coalition because we know that climate change is a threat to children’s lives, health and futures, both in the UK and around the world – by joining others, we’re more powerful and able to stand alongside a broad and diverse movement to build the public support and political action we need to create a safer, fairer future for everyone."
