When someone signs up as a Supporter or Member of BOVF:
They add weight to our campaigns – numbers matter when lobbying politicians.
Every additional Supporter or Member allows us to demonstrate that our concerns are widely shared, not niche. Politicians, civil servants, and media outlets take notice when thousands of people back a cause. The more people we represent within each constituency, the more power we have to influence policy and public debate.
They receive updates and insights on how their rights and services are affected
Supporters and Members get early access to briefings, news, and campaign materials tailored to life overseas. We help explain complex developments in UK law, pensions, immigration, and voting systems in plain English. Being informed is the first step towards feeling empowered — and helping others understand the issues too.
They can join our Discussion Forum and contribute to real policy development
Through our online Discussion Forums, Members and Supporters shape the direction of campaigns and the content of policy papers. We believe in lived experience — your insights as someone directly affected by UK decisions abroad are invaluable. Policy isn’t something that happens to you; at BOVF, it’s something you help create.
They help us form stronger networks in more countries and regions
Supporters and Members become part of local branches, strengthening our presence worldwide. This helps us respond more quickly to country-specific issues and share best practices across borders. A global community of British citizens working together is far more effective than isolated efforts.
They give us stories, and stories are what move governments
You may not think your voice matters. But it does. And it becomes even more powerful when echoed by ten more.
What Is the Tell Ten Friends Challenge?
It’s simple.
If you support what BOVF is doing – or have personally experienced the issues we campaign to fix – then we’re asking you to tell ten British friends abroad about us.

Every person you tell increases our power to influence policy, media coverage, and decision-makers in the UK.
