Get your community involved in the mass lobby

The mass lobby on 9 July 2025 is a key moment to show decision-makers that communities across the UK want bold, fair climate action. Whether you're travelling to London or meeting your MP locally, involving your community in the lead-up to the day will help show you have the public behind your demands.

Here are some ways your group can engage your community and demonstrate support for a bold and fair plan.

Community message board

Gathering messages using our community message board is a great way to spark conversation, collect local perspectives and bring powerful stories to your MP meeting.

We’ve created a template wall display with different shaped cards, each representing a solution we’re advocating for in the climate plan, such as better public transport, home insulation and renewable energy. Ask members of the public to choose a card and write a message on the back about how people in your area will benefit from a strong and fair climate plan. The different shaped cards may help give ideas about what to write about, for example the difference good bus routes would make or how green jobs would benefit the local economy.

Stick messages onto the wall display, using the glu dots provided, so they're visible, allowing people to see and be inspired by each other’s ideas.

This simple activity will help you start a conversation with community members and share more about our campaign. From there you can tell them about the mass lobby, and you could even invite them to attend.

If you’re meeting your MP locally, you can bring your board with you. If you’re attending the mass lobby in London you won’t be able to bring your message board into your MP meeting due to security restrictions on what can be brought into the meeting venues. Before the day, choose some of the most powerful messages and make a note of these. You can then read them out during your MP meeting.

We’ve created a short script to help you explain the benefits of a strong climate plan. You can also use a tailored briefing we’ve made with key data from your constituency briefing to highlights the top climate issues in your area and how a climate plan might make a difference.

Invite your mailing list to take part

This is a great opportunity to engage your mailing list – and get more people actively involved with your group.
Send out an email inviting people to join you in London or at a local MP meeting. Here’s some template copy you can use. 

We recommend:

• Asking your mailing list members to reply if they are interested so you can share travel details and a meeting point directly with them.
• Sharing the train/ bus members of your group will be taking to London.
• Suggesting a meeting point for those wanting to travel together.
• Explain why you’re taking part and what you’ll be asking for: a bold and fair climate plan.
• Encourage people to take part in pre-lobby activities like visiting you at an upcoming stall to contribute to your community message board.

Reach out to local partners and allies

Collaborating with other local organisations, climate groups, trade unions, places of worship or community hubs can help broaden your reach and bring more people into the action.

Ways to involve partners:

• Invite them to join your MP meeting and travel to London with you. Send this template email to your MP which explains a little about the mass lobby and our Big Climate Plan campaign.
• Ask them to help promote the lobby, host events, or contribute to your community message boards.

Think about what might interest each partner. For example, a local union branch might focus on the green jobs and just transition aspects of the Climate Plan. A local parents’ group might care more about public transport or air quality.

If it’s your first time working with a group, use this as a chance to build a long-term relationship. Take time to understand their goals and explore how you can collaborate going forward.

The Climate Coalition have published an interactive map showing which other groups and organisations are signed up locally. You could:

• Reach out to others nearby and let them know you’re attending.
• Arrange a pre-lobby meeting to coordinate messaging for your MP.
• Share train/bus plans so you can travel together.

Make the most of Great Big Green Week

Great Big Green Week is happening 6 – 13 of June. From musical gatherings to family fun days – Great Big Green Week is a nationwide celebration of community action on climate.

If your group has plans this Great Big Green week, you could use them prepare for the lobby. For example, take your community message board to a stall or event and gather response about the Climate Plan that you can bring with you when you meet your MP(s).

Its a great spring board before the mass lobby. You could share photos of your Great Big Green Week activities with your MP and invite them to the meet you on the 9 July at the same time. Here’s a template you can edit depending on weather you’re meeting your MP in Westminster or locally.

Whether you're going to London or staying local, taking part in the mass lobby shows that your community wants climate action that’s fair and ambitious. Every conversation, photo, and message counts – and your efforts will help build pressure for a bold and fair Climate Plan.
