PIN UK is a centre of technical expertise in international development, partnering with UK universities, public and private organisations and PIN’s long-established international Country Programmes, to investigate development challenges, co-create new solutions and advise governments.
PIN UK draws on the decades of PIN’s overseas experience and engages with civil society in the UK, bringing the world’s largest Human Rights Film Festival, One World, to the UK.
We have three core areas of work
All of our work is defined by at least one of these four goals
- Save lives and protect dignity: To save lives, mitigate suffering and maintain dignity of people affected by natural disasters and conflicts.
- Empower people: To support people’s abilities and efforts to improve their lives and their communities, in accordance with the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
- Ensure equal opportunities: To fight against the root causes of inequality of injustice.
- Support sustainable living: To promote development that is not at the expense of future generations, and does not result in further inequalities
Our Work
Education & Skills

Not every child can attend school despite their indisputable right to education. In many countries, school attendance is denied to children due to armed conflict, poverty, humanitarian disasters or simply due to gender-related, ethnic or medical discrimination. PIN strives to tackle these challenges and provide quality and inclusive education to all children. Through vocational education and training in entrepreneurship and other skills, PIN supports young people to establish businesses, find jobs and act as agents of change to build a more transparent and accountable society.
PIN UK is planning to bring One World to the UK and is exploring opportunities with partnering UK Universities. Please contact pin.uk@pin-uk.global, if you are interested to get involved.
