Dear John,

As we wrap up a busy year at Open Britain, we’ve been hard at work planning for 2025 - refining our strategy, developing new campaigns, and staying true to one of our core principles: working in partnership with our friends and allies wherever we can.

Collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do because we know we are stronger when we work together. That’s why we’re looking forward to deepening our partnership with European Movement in the months and years ahead as we continue our shared mission to strengthen democracy and rebuild our relationship with Europe.

In that spirit, I am delighted to bring you this special message from Dominic Grieve and Caroline Lucas, the new Co-Presidents of European Movement UK.

Dear friends and followers of Open Britain,


We’re delighted to announce that we have become the new Co-Presidents of European Movement UK. Our movement is growing stronger by the day and our mission is to rebuild our relations with Europe and to join the EU.

Open Britain and European Movement were close partners during the People’s Vote campaign – and we plan to continue working closely together as we strive to build a better and more internationally engaged country.

European Movement UK was founded 75 years ago by a cross-party group in parliament and we remain proudly cross-party to this day. We helped write the first draft of the ECHR, led the UK into the European community, led the landslide victory to Remain in 1975, and helped coordinate the grassroots engagement the People’ Vote campaign in 2018/19. Since 2020 we have rapidly grown stronger as a membership organisation and now have nearly 24,000 members. This allows us to help support over 100 local groups, events and media activities, and also the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Europe where we serve as the secretariat.

Alongside colleagues like Open Britain, we will never stop working for a greener, safer, more democratic, more collaborative, more European future. And, like Open Britain, we are driven by a supporter base who passionately feel the same.

So please do consider becoming a member. Or if you’re not sure about becoming a member yet, then do at least join our mailing list so that you are kept in the loop about our progress and activities. A lot will happen in 2025 and we want you there alongside us.
Yes - I’ll become a member! ([link removed])

Wishing you all warmest season’s greetings as we approach the end of the year. We’ve come a long way together so let’s keep going!


Caroline Lucas & Dominic Grieve

This message from Caroline and Dominic is a powerful reminder that, although the primary focus of our daily work might differ, we are united behind common goals. At Open Britain, we believe that working together amplifies our collective voice and brings us closer to building the better future we all want to see.

As we prepare for the challenges and opportunities of 2025, we hope you’ll continue to stand with us - and with our friends at European Movement UK - on this journey.

Together, we can make a real difference.

All the very best,

Mark Kieran
