Get involved
Britain’s housing system isn’t working — but together, we can help fix it.
We’re building a movement of people who believe everyone deserves a safe, high-quality, and affordable place to live. That means building more homes — and better places — in the towns, cities and neighbourhoods where people want to live.
Do you want to help turn Yes In My Backyard into reality?
Whether you want to write, organise locally, or just support from your phone — there’s a place for you in the YIMBY movement.
HERE ARE THREE EXCITING WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
1. BECOME A SUPPORTER
Support the people saying ‘Yes In My Back Yard’ to high quality places to live.
Joining as a supporter is the quickest way to get involved. You’ll stay in the loop with the latest in local, national and international YIMBY news.
Supporters get:
- WhatsApp updates about actions, events, and wins.
- Briefings and newsletters straight to your inbox.
- Invitations to events.
It takes only a few seconds to sign up below.
2. WRITE CONTENT
Help us make the YIMBY case.
Blogs, tweet threads, personal stories — one piece can change how people think about housing.
We’re always looking for people to write short explainers, opinion pieces or posts that bring the YIMBY message to life.
Whether you’ve written before or are just giving it a go, we’d love to hear from you!
3. START OR JOIN A GROUP
Change starts in your area.
YIMBY groups bring people together to campaign for better places to live.
If there’s a group near you, we’ll help you join. If not, we’ll help you set one up.
No experience needed – just the enthusiasm to get going.
