Liberty Structure

How we are structured

Liberty is the trading name of The National Council for Civil Liberties, registered in England and Wales (Company number 03260840). Registered Office address is Liberty House, 26-30 Strutton Ground, London, SW1P 2HR.

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

Policy Council is a group of 30 Liberty members who help shape policy between our AGMs. Elected by the membership, our Council provides a vital source of direction and inspiration for our campaigns.
