Working groups

The Union hosts working groups that focus on a specific issue or approach, providing space for members to meet and collaborate. Groups arrange their own meetings and share their progress with the wider Union on a regular basis. 

Previous groups

Other previous working groups include:

  • Glossary group, which explored meanings of key terms relating to the UCRF manifesto

  • Reading group, which engaged with a range of materials to foster an activist knowledge ecology

  • Website group, which worked together to develop the current website.

Policies and Social Change

In 2023, three previous working groups – Indexes, Wellbeing & Degrowth in Fashion and Fashion & Politics – decided to regroup into one new working group: Policies and Social Change.

The group works on different sub-projects, such as an alternative matrix to the current LCA-based tools that dominate, and policy issues such as measures that will actually help to degrow the sector and enable a just transition.
