MERSEYSIDE CAMPAIGNS DIRECTORY
Merseyside Campaigns Directory aims to become a comprehensive list of groups who are working for positive social, political and environmental change in Merseyside. It includes activist and campaign groups, progressive voluntary and community groups, workers co-operatives, social enterprises and alternative media. The aim is for the list to facilitate networking between groups and to put individuals in touch with groups they can get involved with.
This list is at an early stage of development and therefore bound to be incomplete. If you know of any campaign group or organisation that would like to feature on this list, please send contact details and a brief summary of the group’s activities to: ra.sk@merseymail.com
Political parties, groups that encourage racism, sexism or other forms of discrimination, will not be included on this list.
For convenience the list has been divided into the following categories (some organisations may appear in more than one category) :
