Community membership
People can achieve so much more when they
work together
Unite’s mission is to
organise people to strive for a society that places equality,
dignity and respect above all else. But our union recognises that
we can only achieve this if we bring people together from all walks
of life.
Even now in the 21st century, too many people in our country are
being pushed to the margins of society. They deserve to be heard;
they too deserve the support to organise collectively. It is with
this in mind that Unite has founded its community membership
scheme.
Unite's community membership scheme brings
together people from across our society. Those not in
employment are welcomed into the union family, adding another
dimension to our strength in thousands of workplaces across the
UK.
Organising and activism are at the centre of strong communities,
which is why Unite’s community membership provides a way people can
find and use their political voice. Whether it is taking a stand
against a service closure or coming together to improve your living
environment, as a community member, Unite will be on your side.
These are seriously hard times for ordinary people. Incomes,
housing, our health, education and legal services – the very
pillars of our society for more than 60 years - are now under
assault.
It is only as standing together that we can defend and
improve our lives.
Through Unite’s community membership we will work with
you to make life better; we will give you the platform you need to
create a fairer society. Our trade unions are the biggest
voluntary group in the UK. At 6.5 million strong, we are the
Big Society. At Unite we have 1.5 million members – just
imagine what you can achieve with them standing by your side?
