About the European Movement
The European Movement was founded by Winston Churchill in 1949 to promote European unity. For over 75 years, we have worked to build a closer relationship with our European neighbours.
The European Movement is a cross-party, single-issue organisation. We are powered by our 26,000 members, over 250,000 campaign supporters, over 100 local groups, and our strong networks in Westminster and the EU.
The European Movement Co-Presidents are Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve, and our Chair is Dr Mike Galsworthy. Sir Nick Harvey, Chief Executive, leads the staff team on operational delivery of our strategy. The Movement’s central governance committee is its 20-strong Board, who join around 100 campaigners elected by members nationwide to form our Council – which discusses public policy, campaigning and communications priorities.
European Movement values
The UK shares deeply held values and a common history with our European neighbours. The EU and its member states are natural trading, security, diplomatic and cultural partners for the UK and, together, we can exercise powerful influence on the world stage.
It is becoming increasingly clear that Britain’s decision to leave the EU is not working out well in practice and isn’t going to. The UK’s economic and political interests, and the global pursuit of our shared values of peace, freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law are best achieved through the UK rebuilding closer ties with the European Union.
European Movement Mission
The European Movement’s mission now is to address head-on the issue that UK politics is avoiding: acknowledging and highlighting the damaging impacts of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. It is in the UK’s national interest to reverse that damage and build back our relationship with the EU.
