Flight Free UK is a behaviour change charity that encourages people to fly less, in order to reduce emissions and create a social shift away from taking flights as the norm. We have been running for six years.
The team is led by the director Anna Hughes. We have a vibrant team of volunteer interns which changes every few months. There is no office and as such we all work remotely, from home. We hold regular video calls for the whole team.

About Flight Free UK
Our mission is to inform people of the climate impact of aviation and inspire people to travel by other means. We challenge people to take a year off flying to reduce emissions and shift the norm away from aviation. Our short-term challenge is a great way to inspire long-term behaviour change, and we show that individual consumer choices can lead to industry and system change.
