Liberty is both a non-profit company that employs staff and runs campaigns, and a democratically-run membership association.

We also work closely with a charity called the Civil Liberties Trust.


Liberty office


Liberty employs staff and benefits from the support and dedication of our committed volunteers.

The work of the office is split into seven broad areas:

  • Policy
  • Legal
  • Media
  • Advice and Information
  • Development
  • Operations 
  • Campaigns

Each team contributes to Liberty’s campaigning objectives. Find out more about our work.


Liberty Executive Committee


From its members, the Council elects an Executive Committee, which meets at least eight times a year. It is responsible for the strategic direction, financial and other governance of Liberty. In addition, the Executive Committee appoints a Treasurer each year at their first meeting following Liberty’s Annual General Meeting.

Policy Council


Liberty’s Policy Council has 30 members elected by the membership. Each Council member serves for 2 years, and half come up for election each year. They take their seats after Liberty’s Annual General Meeting. The Council meets three times a year to debate Liberty policy in between Annual General Meeting debates. Liberty’s Treasurer is also a member of the Council.

The Civil Liberties Trust


Liberty works closely with the Civil Liberties Trust (CLT), a registered charity. The CLT has no staff, but commissions Liberty to conduct charitable work such as providing public advice and information.


It is important that the CLT exists as the division between the two organisations enables us to pursue all the work necessary to protect and promote civil liberties and human rights, including, crucially, our political campaigning.

Please join Liberty today and help protect our fundamental rights and freedoms. The support of our members makes all our work possible.
