About the campaign
 |
Plain English Campaign officially began in 1979, after founder Chrissie Maher OBE publicly shredded hundreds of official documents in Parliament Square, London. Entirely independent, the campaign funds itself through its commercial services, which include editing and training. We have worked with thousands of organisations ranging from UK Government departments to World Bowls, helping them make sure their public information is as clear as possible. |
We have over 11,000 members in 80 countries and our Crystal Mark is now firmly established as a guarantee that a document is written in plain English.
