Latin Americans have been excluded for far too long.
There are generations of British-born people of Latin American heritage missing from UK statistics.
We want to change that.
All Latin American communities, together and thriving
Get Latin Americans on the Census 2031

PARTICIPATELEARN ABOUT THE CAMPAIGNTogether, we raise awareness and understanding of the issues facing Latin American communities in the UK, providing a collective voice and representing the collective interests of people from these communities
Recognition
For more than a decade, CLAUK has campaigned for the official recognition of Latin Americans as an ethnic group in the UK, and for Spanish and Portuguese to be recognised as community languages.
Living with dignity
We want all Latin Americans to thrive and lead fulfilling lives with dignity. To that aim, we raise awareness that a high proportion of people from Latin American communities have been living in financial precarity in the UK.
Rights & civic engagement
We want to enable our underrepresented communities to become visible, active citizens by exercising their right to participate in civil society.
What is CLAUK?
The Coalition of Latin Americans in the UK (CLAUK) is a group of ‘led by and for’ Latin American migrant organisations, initiatives, and passionate individuals actively collaborating to raise awareness of the issues affecting Latin American communities, amplifying our collective voice, and building systemic change through policy-influencing campaigning and capacity-building.
If you are an organisation, community initiative or organiser with experience of working with Latin American communities and you are interested in finding out more about how to join, please have a look at our Get Involved page. Membership is free.
