It has been another busy year for the Global Campaign on Military Spending UK – as we continue to oppose the government’s plans for increasing military spending at the same time as cutting the budget for welfare support and overseas development. The Labour government has continued to increase spending on the military, and with Donald Trump pushing NATO members to commit to an eventual target of 5% of GDP to be spent, it is clear that we have much work ahead of us.
Over the year ending Dec. 2025, the organisation continued and deepened its role within the UK peace and security field:
- initiating and resourcing the annual Global Days of Action on Military Spending (GDAMS)
- publishing relevant information on UK military spending, in a global context
- encouraging and assisting our Supporting Organisations to speak up on the issue, and to mobilise their own supporters
This impact report provides an introductory overview, campaign highlights, including a full rundown of what we achieved during GDAMS 2025, our finances and future plans for 2026. Join us at the next Annual General Meeting on March 31st from 6-7:30 pm as we discuss the current state UK military spending and what we can do about it.
