Local groups

Local groups are vital to the work of Amnesty. There are 13 local Amnesty groups in Northern Ireland; they usually meet once a month. By joining your local group you could be involved in:

• Raising awareness about human rights in their local areas
• Organising events and stalls
• Fundraising
• Getting into their local press and radio
• Lobbying their MPs and MEPs
• Writing letters to Prisoners of Conscience and the people responsible for their detention
• Supporting Amnesty in our global campaigns

Whether you're an old hand at grass roots campaigning, or you've never done anything like this at all, you'll enjoy meeting like-minded people and really making a difference.
