Get involved

Your energy and enthusiasm could help us get Britain voting climate!

We’re a small organisation and we keep going day to day with a skeleton team. Volunteers make all the difference, helping us reach more voters so we can put pressure on political parties to take real climate action.

We’re on the lookout for people who can help out in the following roles. Get in touch for a chat if you think you can help in one (or more!) of the following roles:

  • Press coordinator
  • National volunteer coordinator
  • Local volunteer coordinators
  • Local outreach
  • Leafleting
  • Social media evangelists
  • Letter writers

Keen to get stuck in? You can get involved right away without contacting us first (although we’d love to hear from you – especially if you’re looking for pointers or guidance). Here’s how:

Help promote VoteClimate

  • Promote and discuss with like-minded friends, family and colleagues
  • Use email, online messaging and sharing, social media, blogs, newsletters and face-to-face conversations – please see our example recruitment email
  • Use the VoteClimate petition as an excuse for contacting people or following up earlier messages
  • Remind yourself of our 3 simple steps explanation
  • Get up to speed with our Frequently Asked Questions – people will ask them
  • Print VoteClimate posters: put them up in your windows and on work/community noticeboards
  • Print VoteClimate flyers: hand out to friends and colleagues, leave in the office kitchen/coffee area

Letters to the press

We see a flurry of new members joining whenever VoteClimate is mentioned in the press – like this Guardian article. Even comments underneath news articles make a difference. Can you help?

  • If you see an article in the national press where VoteClimate is relevant, please find the article online and post a comment publicising VoteClimate
  • Local papers are desperate for content for their websites and they publish many letters received. Please look up your local paper online and write them a message mentioning VoteClimate – eg explaining how local people can look up their MP’s voting record
  • You can often comment under articles and letters on local newspaper websites. Try to start a debate about VoteClimate!

Social media

  • If you’re not on social media, consider joining (sorry – desperate times, desperate measures!)
  • When you post or reply to posts about climate mention @VoteClimateUK and #VoteClimate
  • Ask your social media friends and followers to follow us – ask them to engage with and share our posts if they like what we have to say (particularly if they have a large following!)
  • If you’re a superfan, you can even add our profile pic and header image to your social media accounts:

And remember, if you’d like to help but you’re not sure how, you can always get in touch on our contact form.
