Our campaigns
Each year the BPS conducts campaigns on behalf of our members and psychology as a whole.
Psychology matters
Psychology Matters is a campaign that aims to shine a light on the power of psychology in our every day – and sometimes not so every day – lives.
Through Psychology Matters we will celebrate psychology's impact on society, and hear from the people behind it. Psychology has many important stories to tell, and we will work with our members from across the British Psychological Society to bring them to life.
We'll also campaign on key issues from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to influence government policy and use psychology to fight for the best outcomes for us all.
More information about Psychology Matters is coming soon. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
