Platform London ( http://www.platformlondon.org/) "works across disciplines for social and ecological justice. It combines the transformatory power of art with the tangible goals of campaigning, the rigour of in-depth research with the vision to promote alternative futures."


People & Planet ( http://peopleandplanet.org) is the largest student network in Britain campaigning to alleviate world poverty, defend human rights, and protect the environment.

There are People & Planet groups at over 60 UK universities and colleges. They are run by students and are the core of the People & Planet network. They campaign and raise awareness about the global issues that matter to them by having speakers, debates, quizzes, colourful demonstrations, boycotts, club nights and more.
