Founded in 1945, the United Nations Association – UK (UNA-UK) is the country’s foremost advocate for UK action at the UN; the UK's leading source of analysis on the UN; and a vibrant grassroots movement of 20,000 people from all walks of life. We are the only charity in the UK devoted to building support for the UN amongst policymakers, opinion-formers and the public. We believe that a strong, credible and effective UN is essential if we are to build a safer, fairer and more sustainable world. We advocate strong government support for the UN - political and financial - and seek to demonstrate why the UN matters to people everywhere. We pursue this mission by: - Explaining how the UN works and what it can realistically achieve Connecting people and organisations to the UN's work and values - Providing an interface between the UN and the UK Calling for active and progressive UK leadership at the UN Stimulating debate and action on how to make the UN more effective, transparent, inclusive and accountable - Convening key players from all sectors, in the UK and internationally, to promote multilateral solutions to global problems - Equipping our members and supporters to further all of these aims
