Find a local group

A movement of grass roots campaigners is essential to a feminist future.

Fawcett’s local groups work in partnership with our national office, to create a society in which women and girls, in all our diversity, are truly equal and free to fulfil our potential. 

We’re delighted to have a growing number of active and effective local women’s rights meet ups, who work in the local community to enforce change and campaign on our behalf. Their work is invaluable to Fawcett and their commitment to ending sexism and gender inequality are at the heart of our success.

Use the search tool and map below to find a local Fawcett group in your area.

We wouldn't be able to do it without you

We've come so far in a century of campaigning for gender equality, but our work isn't over yet.

Without our members we simply wouldn’t have the funds or the voice to make real change and progress on key issues such as sex discrimination, the gender pay gap and women’s representation in public and political life.

Inspire others: Volunteer with Future Fawcett

2018 marks 100 years since women first secured the right to vote, and we're marking it by launching Future Fawcett, an education outreach programme to inspire young people through our suffrage history, and teach them about women's rights today.

We need volunteers to make it happen. Are you ready to inspire the next generation of feminists?
