About us
What on Earth is Unite Community?
Unite Community is the union of the unwaged.
It brings together the unemployed, retired people, disabled, carers and students and provides organization and resources to enable us to campaign together on issues that matter to us.
Unite Community is a part of Unite the Union, so we have the backing of Britain & Ireland's largest Trade Union, with over a million members.
The Portsmouth & District branch is very active and covers the whole PO postcode
area, which includes Fareham, Gosport, Portsmouth, Havant, Chichester, Bognor
Regis, and the Isle of Wight. So if you are unwaged and your postcode begins with
"PO", please consider joining us. It's only 60p a week!
What kind of things do you get up to?
- We campaign on local and national matters: the polluting water companies, cuts to disability benefits, the housing crisis, fuel poverty, benefit sanctions
- We run minibuses to enable members to attend pickets and demonstrations on issues they care about, such as ending the genocide in Palestine or opposing cuts to welfare for disabled people.
- We promoted and attended the recent Stand Up To Racism Unity rallies in Portsmouth and Southampton.
- We are part of the Together Alliance and we co-sponored the coaches that took protesters from Portsmouth to the half-million-strong march against the far right on 28 March 2026.
- We have monthly branch meetings which are democratically organized and a source of mutual support.
This list is not comprehensive. The beauty of Unite Community is that if you have an idea and you gain our backing, you will have the full support of branch members and resources to make it happen.
Join us, and become part of the organized working class!
Solidarity!
