About Social Platform

Social Platform is the largest, leading non-governmental organisation working on social issues in Europe.

Our mission is to ensure that social rights and equality are respected, upheld and mainstreamed in EU policy-making. Uniting over 40 European-wide networks, we are a megaphone for the voices of citizens and civil society who fight for social justice, bringing their needs, concerns and challenges to the forefront of EU democracy.

A social Europe that works for all

We believe that everyone deserves to live a life in dignity, where it’s possible to thrive – not just survive. Guided by the principals of the European Pillar of Social Rights we bring a social rights perspective to everything that we do – advocating for societies that are fair, inclusive and future-proof.

Sustainable future for all

We want to build a greener future where people and communities from all backgrounds can benefit and thrive. Social Platform advocates for better social, economic and climate policies that leave no one behind.

Social justice for all

Everyone deserves a life free from poverty and social exclusion. We strive for fair living and working conditions across Europe, supporting those in vulnerable situations and empowering people to live in dignity.

Equality & inclusion for all

Our democracies are strongest when everyone is heard and included. We champion the role of civil society in amplifying underrepresented voices and representing their needs and interests in decision making.
