Liberty Structure

Liberty is the trading name of The National Council for Civil Liberties (Company number 03260840).

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 five broad areas:

• Advocacy and Legal
• Communications
• Advice and Information
• Development
• Operations

Each team contributes to Liberty’s campaigning objectives.

Policy Council

Liberty’s Policy Council meets three times per year and is responsible for policy-setting between Annual General Meetings.

The Council is made up of 30 Liberty members. Each year, 15 members are elected to serve for two years. New Council members take office immediately following the AGM.

Election to Council of Liberty

The deadline for submitting nominations for the vacant places on Council this year has now passed.

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.

LIBERTY CONFERENCE AND AGM 2020

We are sad to announce that in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Conference and AGM. We will be in touch with members once we have confirmed how we are going to address the constitutional issues that arise as a result.
