NEON

Who we are

The New Economy Organisers Network (NEON) is a not-for-profit company with 24 staff. Our guiding strategic objective is to change the starting point for working together from 'what to we agree on?' to 'what can we win together?'.

Our mission is to supercharge UK social movements with the skills, strategy and support they need to build a new economy - one that puts people and the planet first. Our vision is a more just and sustainable future - powered by resilient and bold social movements.

We run trainings, share skills and coordinate together on campaigns as well as working with our network to get over 2,500 media bookings across the UK’s biggest TV/radio outlets. We’re ambitious and the team is agile, fast paced and committed to actually changing things. 

Our culture and values

To build a culture and community that lasts, we organise around three values:

• Solidarity - we’re here to change the system and that requires working together across issues and sectors that aren’t normally in the same room. This means placing anti-oppression at the heart of our work and building the power of people most often affected by injustice to change the leadership of our movements
   
• Generosity is about sharing our time, resources and learning with one another as we support each other’s work. It means being open and honest with one another, especially when we hit problems, and thinking creatively about how we positively build from there
   
• Respect is the bottom line for all relationships in NEON. It means being respectful of different backgrounds and life experiences and giving space for 5 all voices to be heard. This often means listening more than we talk and being open to changing ourselves as a result of what we hear. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their background.

We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in progressive movements and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people of colour; disabled people; people who identify as being LGTBQIA; people who have a mental health condition; and people who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
