British in Germany (BiG) is a registered Association (eingetragener Verein or e.V. for short) no. VR36651 B, and works to safeguard the rights of the over 170,000 UK citizens living in Germany.
All our members are volunteers who give their time for free. We actively campaign and inform at the national level, travelling to meet members of the German Parliament and government, and German MEPs, to make the case for British citizens continuing to live here unhindered post-Brexit. When Covid restrictions permit, we hold ‘InfoAbends’ around Germany for British citizens, which incur travel expenses and publicity costs, and run campaigns to highlight key rights that we all want to hold onto, such as Votes for Life and Freedom of Movement.
Your support
With your help, we can continue to fund our lobbying and campaigning work, produce new publicity materials and research, and get support with the administrative back-up we need to run the organisation. Though Brexit has been decided, the campaigning, advocacy and information role remains key for for us to continue to live our lives unhindered in Germany, despite the major change that has taken place in our EU citizenship status.
