The Organisation

RightsInfo is an award-winning digital human rights charity that builds knowledge and support for human rights in the UK by producing engaging, accessible and beautifully-presented online human rights content.

In the UK, human rights are often controversial and often misunderstood.

Brexit will create multiple challenges for those who value the protection of human rights in the UK.

RightsInfo is fighting back against media misrepresentation of human rights. We want people to understand why human rights matter to them and people like them.

Our work now reaches tens of thousands of people every week. In just a few years, RightsInfo has gone from a start-up project to a leading charity with full-time staff, a talented team of volunteers, significant multi-year grants, an experienced board of trustees and an exciting future.

This is an exciting time for the charity as RightsInfo will be launching a new brand identity and name in December 2019, and are now looking for a new CEO to help this dynamic, young organisation evolve and grow, leading the organisation including working closely with our Creative Director and dynamic staff team.
