A Year to Celebrate

From Parliament to local communities, your support has helped us make real progress. Here's what we've accomplished together.

Year in Highlights

Our Voice in Parliament

Together, we helped launch the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Europe - uniting over 100 MPs and Peers who share our vision.

Six Powerful Campaigns

You helped us champion youth mobility, trade, defence, environment, freedom of movement and human rights - issues that matter to all of us.

Our Movement is Growing

Membership grew by 8% to 26,000 - and with 276,000 supporters nationwide, we're the UK's largest pro-European community.

Stronger Together

We've deepened our connections with European Movement International, Young European Movement, EM Scotland, Wales for Europe, and many other organisations across the UK.

Real Progress

This year, doors that had been closed started to reopen. Your campaigning helped make this possible.

The new Government's commitment to 'reset' UK-EU relations marked a turning point. And in May 2025, the first UK-EU Summit in London delivered real breakthroughs - the most significant progress since Brexit. This is a huge step in the right direction, and lays the foundation for us to call for much more ambitious progress in future summits.

UK-EU Summit

Key Summit Outcomes

A Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement, reducing red tape and border checks on food and agricultural products
Linking Emissions Trading Systems to avoid carbon charges under the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
The UK reconnecting to the EU's internal electricity market, improving energy efficiency and lowering costs
A Security and Defence Partnership, paving the way for UK participation in CSDP and PESCO projects

You Are The Movement

Everything we achieve starts with you. Across every nation and region, our members and local groups are the heart of this movement - organising events, starting conversations, and keeping the European spirit alive in communities everywhere.

Together, we're now 276,000 strong - and we're on track to reach 300,000 by next year. That makes us the UK's largest and most active pro-European community. And it's all because of people like you.

This year, we launched our new Grassroots Hub, giving you access to campaign materials, social media graphics, talking points and training. An app version is on the way!

Our Target for Next Year

Your Voice in Westminster

We've built a cross-party group of over 100 MPs and Peers championing our cause in Parliament.

Thanks to your support, we launched the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Europe in late 2024. It's already become one of the most active groups in Westminster, bringing together parliamentarians from across the House of Commons and House of Lords.

We're proud to serve as the APPG's Secretariat - coordinating events, policy work and communications to keep the UK-EU relationship high on the agenda.

In 2025, the APPG held policy roundtables, evidence sessions, and met three times with the Minister for EU Relations. This is your movement making a real difference at the highest levels.

Business With Europe

We're helping British businesses find their voice again - and many of you have been instrumental in making this happen.

Our Business with Europe network is growing, giving companies across the UK a platform to share their experiences and advocate for closer cooperation. We're planning a full launch in 2026 as a member-funded, business-led initiative - watch this space!

Amplifying Your Voice

Together, we've become an unmissable voice in the national conversation about our relations with Europe. When you share, engage and speak up - it matters.

Fighting for What Matters

From Erasmus+ to human rights, you've powered six major campaigns this year. Here's what we achieved together.

Our Campaigns

Erasmus+ & Youth Mobility

We did it! Thanks to your campaigning, the UK will rejoin Erasmus+ in 2027 - restoring life-changing opportunities for students and young people. Your emails, petitions, and stories helped make this possible.

Defence & Security

Our award-nominated documentary Flags in the Wind, filmed in Ukraine's Lviv region, brought home the powerful story of Europe as a peace project.

Environment & Climate

Our One Earth. One Team campaign launched with a major report, forging new partnerships with environmental organisations who share our vision.

European Market Access

Our second Business Impact Report gave voice to British businesses navigating trade barriers - real stories that show why closer cooperation matters.

Defending the ECHR

Over 55,000 of you signed our petition defending human rights - a powerful statement of our shared values and commitment to democracy.

Reimagine: Our European Future

As we approach ten years since 2016, we're looking forward - not back. Join us in reimagining Britain's future relationship with Europe.

Thank You!

None of this would be possible without you. Whether you've been handing out leaflets, signed a petition, donated, or simply spread the word - you've helped us move forward this year. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the 2016 referendum, let's keep going together.
