People In Need (PIN) UK

Who we are

PIN works in solidarity with civil society and other local actors in 40 countries worldwide. Our programmes focus on Emergency Response & Recovery; Climate Resilience; and Civil Society & Inclusive Governance. We organise the largest Human Rights film festival in the world - One World - and PIN's Centre for Human Rights and Democracy supports human rights defenders and activities in some of the world's most authoritarian regimes.  PIN UK was established in 2018 and is a centre of technical expertise in international development and humanitarian response. We work in partnership with the long-established international Country Programmes of People in Need, alongside other civil society organisations, research institutes, and governmental organisations.

Our work is defined by four goals:

• Save lives and protect dignity: Save lives, mitigate suffering and maintain dignity of people affected by natural disasters and conflicts.
• Empower people: Support people’s abilities and efforts to improve their lives and their communities, in accordance with the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
• Ensure equal opportunities: Fight against the root causes of inequality or injustice.
• Support sustainable living: Promote sustainable development that keeps our planet healthy for future generations.
