The Platform of European Social NGOs was established in 1995 and brings together 38 European non-governmental organisations, federations and networks working to build an inclusive society and promote the social dimensions of the European Union. Member organisations include those campaigning for women, older people, people with disabilities, people who are unemployed, people affected by poverty, gays and lesbians, young people, children and families, as well as those working on issues such as social justice, life-long learning, public health and racism. Together they embody thousands of direct member organisations, associations and voluntary bodies working at the local, regional and national level, and through them the Social Platform has a presence in all European Union countries.
