About Us

NO2ID is the UK-wide, non-partisan campaign opposing the government's planned ID card and National Identity Register.

We bring together individuals and organisations from all sections of the community and seek to ensure that the case against ID cards and the database state is forcefully put forward in the media, in the corridors of power and at grassroots level.

We continue to actively campaign on all fronts for the abolition of the ID scheme and repeal of the Identity Cards Act 2006.


Who else says NO?

Before the Identity Cards Act was even passed, over 12,000 people pledged to refuse to sign up to the government's ID Scheme and donate to towards a legal fund to fight the Act and protect those the government might prosecute for refusal to comply.

About the organisation

NO2ID is currently an unincorporated Association with a Constitution adopted at its first Annual General Meeting on 9th October, 2004. The present members of the Advisory Board were elected at the second AGM on 11th February, 2006, and re-elected at the third meeting of the Association on 12th May, 2007:

Chair — Mark Littlewood
Former National Coordinator of NO2ID, former Campaigns Director of Liberty, Mark is a communications and media professional in public affairs.
Deputy Chair — Debbie Chay
Debbie is chair of Charter 88, the 80,000-strong constitutional reform movement.
James Cronin
Web commerce pioneer and a founder of Stand, involved with FaxYourMP.com and other attempts to make the web a tool of democratic pluralism.
Mark Dziecielewski
Security technology consultant and founder of the Watching Them, Watching Us privacy campaign.
Andy Robson
Trained as a journalist, Andy was on the staff of Charter 88 for several years. He now works as a New Media and communications consultant in London and Geneva.

N.B. the members of the Advisory Board are similar to the Trustees of a charity, in that they offer the membership / donors oversight of the executive and staff of the campaign. Each paid-up member or affiliate of NO2ID has a vote and individual membership is open to anyone who supports our aims and who pays an annual membership fee.

NO2ID is staffed entirely by volunteers and we are constantly on the lookout for people with skills, time and experience that they can offer to the campaign. Our London HQ is the focus of national activities, and we also have a growing network of active local groups across the UK.

We have been supported by grants from the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust Ltd, the Andrew Wainwright Reform Trust Ltd, and other individual and corporate donors — as well as by membership fees and merchandise sales.
