We never expected to be here.

Ordinary people. Families. Retirees. Parents. Small business owners. Neighbours.

People who simply love where they live and the environment.

But over the past months, communities along the proposed Peak Cluster route have been forced to come together and ask difficult questions about what this project could mean for our countryside, our coastline, our villages, our homes and our future.

From the High Peak to the Wirral, people are worried. Worried about the long-term impact on the places they cherish. Worried about decisions being made without communities truly being heard. Worried that once this starts, there is no going back.

That’s why Action Against CCS was formed.

Not by corporations. Not by political interests. But by local people standing together because they believe communities deserve a voice.

So far, everything we’ve done has been powered by local fundraising, volunteers, late nights, determination and the incredible support of people who refuse to stand by quietly. But as this fight grows, so does the need for expert support and professional representation to ensure communities are properly heard throughout the process.

This campaign is bigger than one town or one postcode.

It represents every community along the route. Every resident who feels overlooked. Every person who believes transparency, accountability and proper scrutiny matter.

We know we are up against something enormous. But history has shown that when ordinary people stand together, they can make powerful organisations stop and listen.

If you are able to support us, every donation, whether you can afford £1 or £100, helps us continue that fight.

Because this isn’t just about a pipeline.

It’s about protecting communities, landscapes and future generations.

And with your support, we will continue to stand up for them.
