ECREU aims to voice concerns of Brits in Europe after Brexit

THE fight is on to battle for the rights of UK expats following the referendum vote on 23 June that saw the United Kingdom decide to leave the EU.

Expat Citizen Rights in EU (ECREU) is a lobby and self help group that aims to ensure the voice of British people living in Europe is heard during the Brexit negociations.

ECREU has some very experienced campaigners fighting to get Parliament to focus on the rights of UK people in the EU as well as EU members in the UK.

They are also fighting to remove the 15 year voting rule and for winter fuel payments to be reinstated.

The group is free to join and is not political in essence but needs members across the EU so that they can talk on behalf of as many people as possible.

There are currently about 2,500 members but one aim of the group is to increase this number significantly, forcing MPs and MEPs to listen.
