Hope for the Future

Who we are

Hope for the Future is a UK-based charity which began in 2013 as a small Yorkshire-based campaign in the lead up to the 2015 general election.Having gained charitable status in 2017, we now deliver our training to hundreds of concerned constituents, campaigners, campaign groups, youth groups and major climate NGOs every year.

We believe in the power of democratic engagement in calling for action on climate change and the nature crisis.

We work to support people to secure greater and more ambitious action from the government - across all levels - by having effective conversations with their elected representatives.

We are the only organisation dedicated to the research and practice of effective constituent communication about the climate and nature crises with their local representatives.

Our mission is to equip people across the UK with the tools they need to have effective and impactful conversations with their local politicians on climate change. 

Our approach draws from a range of disciplines including conflict resolution, counselling, influencing theory and climate communications.

We offer in person and online training workshops run by our team of experts in political and democratic engagement

We have trained over 6000 people and supported engagements with 250 MPs, and countless other local councillors.

We also support national and local campaigns to effectively communicate their campaign message or demands with their MP. Our campaign support is bespoke to each campaign, and we have a huge range of support available.

This year's general election is the climate movement’s last chance to make a political impact ahead of the 2024 general election. HftF will focus its energies on amplifying key climate and nature campaigns to maximise the political impact of their public engagement.

This coming year, we want to support more people to meet their politicians than ever before. Organisations, campaign groups, individual campaigners, we’re here to support you to get their voices heard.
