Who We Are

Policy & Lobbying

At Cranstoun, we’re interested in the personal, the political and the power to change our world. We are committed to influencing communities and the wider world by advocating change, political lobbying and shaping public opinion to make a lasting difference to the systems and policies that impact us all.

Our Impact

Empowering people and empowering change is what we’re great at. Empowering change begins with taking on the challenge of improving systems and policies to transform lives nationally and internationally. Too often, people are let down by the structures, services and systems that make up our world. We want to change that, for good.

In the UK, we are represented at All Party Parliamentary Groups, Cross Party Parliamentary Groups and globally, at the UN Committee on Drugs. We’re passionate about working with the change makers, law changers and influencers to shape future policy agenda in the UK and worldwide.

As well as this, we are devoted to working alongside the members of our community that inform every goal, hope and ambition for our work. The people who use our services, families, academics and activists give us the knowledge, drive and passion to empower people and empower change.

If you are interested in supporting our work, please get in touch. We are excited about working with academics, students, activists and the wider third sector to create lasting impact.

Together, we achieve the impossible.

“Cranstoun gave me the tools to rebuild my life and embrace the future in a positive and productive way”.

Jay first became involved with Cranstoun as a service user. With Jay’s openness, hard work and dedication he soon became a service user rep. Jay volunteered five days a week, offering support to service users and staff members.

He then took the brave jump towards paid employment, and with his compassion, incredible story and dedication to helping others, Jay now works for Cranstoun as a recovery worker.
