Websites for Friends of the Earth local groups

Did you know that your local group can have its own page on Friends of the Earth's website, which you can keep up to date quickly and easily using email? You can use this page to say what you're up to, and to let people know where you meet.

If you want to set up your own website, we also offer templates and ways of easily including Friends of the Earth content in your site. More information on websites for local groups.

Update your details

You can now change the contact details for your local group, and also update us on what your group is working on, using this simple online form.

Campaign networks

These are the main ways to get involved with Friends of the Earth's campaigns. Campaign Networks enable local campaigners to do more campaigning than is possible through working solely on one-off actions. Find out more about networks.

Mailing Friends of the Earth national supporters

If you would like to mail national Friends of the Earth supporters in your area (for example, to tell them about your recently established local group, or a public meeting that you're organising) this can be done through a low-cost mailing service. Please read our guidelines (PDF) for more details. You can also get inspiration from mailings sent out by groups in South Hams, Manchester and Taunton.

Email discussion groups

Subscribe to an issue-specific email list to discuss campaigns and exchange know-how with fellow campaigners. Find a list of existing email discussion groups here.

Visual identity kit

Several downloadable templates are available for local groups to use - these include templates for : headed paper; fax cover sheets; press releases; newsletters; web pages; DIY posters; welcome letter; and a local information sheet. Some of these resources are bilingual (e.g. Welsh/English).

The Friends of the Earth logos are also available here.
