Welcome

The Platform of European Social NGOs (Social Platform) is the alliance of representative European federations and networks of non-governmental organisations active in the social sector.

The Social Platform promotes social justice and participatory democracy by voicing the concerns of its member organisations.



We care, how can EU care?

“On behalf of the European Commission, I would like to pay tribute to the work undertaken by the Social Platform and its members. In these times of major budgetary constraints you play a key role in raising awareness of the need to protect the rights of people who need care, as well as those of carers, whether formal or informal.†Commisioner Andor (Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion)
