Ahead of todays’s launch of the UKs Anti Corruption Strategy, watch below to hear why corruption is not some far away problem, but has a corrosive influence on all of our daily lives.

And do give the UKACC page a follow to keep up date of all the brill work CSOs in the sector are doing.
🤔 Corruption may seem far away from our normal lives. But it’s actually in our communities, our economy, and our politics too.

🌍 It’s a whole-of-society problem that needs a whole-of-society solution.

🗣️That’s what we’re calling for here at UKACC — and we want you to join us 🫵
