Wales for Europe (Welsh: Cymru dros Ewrop) is an independent cross-party and non-party grass-roots organisation that aims to speak up for Wales’ place in Europe, believing that Wales and the United Kingdom are inextricably European by virtue of geography, shared history, culture, trade and values.

History

Wales for Europe was founded ahead of the referendum in 2016.

In 2021, European Movement UK announced a strategic partnership with Wales for Europe. European Movement UK members in Wales are also members of Wales for Europe and Wales for Europe is represented with 6 seats on the European Movement UK’s National Council.
