Introduction
UNA-UK’s membership is essential to the organisation’s strategy of influencing decision-makers by generating a critical mass of support at the grassroots level. Our members, branches, regions and nations continue to play a vital role in helping UNA-UK to achieve its objectives, including through:
- Amplifying national advocacy efforts at the local and regional levels
- Raising the profile of UNA-UK and the UN in their communities
- Helping to identify emerging issues we should be working on
- Supporting education initiatives, such as local Model United Nations events
As a grassroots membership organisation, UNA-UK's policy positions are informed by the opinions of its members.
