Why does XR need money?

Extinction Rebellion UK spends around £1m a year on its basic activities, which include:

• Supporting a range of volunteers with essential costs - including people who support the movement through UK wide teams with resources, training, strategies, regional and national coordination, fundraising etc • Carefully planning national and UK wide attention-grabbing strategies, actions and campaigns • Creating and safely storing of our wonderfully iconic artful resources • Sharing money with nations and regions, to spend as they need. Some of this will help support local groups with leaflets, posters and other resources. • Providing, updating and supporting our communication and meeting tools and website • Running trainings and talks to spread the news about the climate emergency • Providing financial and budgeting processes

The more funds we have the more effective we can be in the face of the climate and biodiversity crises.

Please bear in mind that Extinction Rebellion can only ask for donations which will used to fund legal activities.
