A new report by the Young Foundation

The Young Foundation launches ‘Contentious Citizens: civil society’s role in campaigning for social change’. The report provides a detailed analysis and historical overview of the campaigning landscape with particular reference to the challenges and opportunities associated with campaigning in a network age. The publication explores how campaigning can be better supported and makes a series of recommendations intended to support campaigning organisations in raising awareness and responding to pressing and unmet needs.

To mark the launch of the report, the Young Foundation hosted a seminar with keynote speakers Neil Jameson (Citizen Organising Foundation), Rosie Chapman (Charity Commission), Simon Woolley (Operation Black Vote) and Joe Saxton (nfpSynergy and People & Planet).
