About Us

We are Free Tibet, a leading human rights organisation campaigning for an end to China’s occupation of Tibet, as well as the international recognition of Tibetans’ right to freedom.

Our vision is a free Tibet in which Tibetans can determine their own future and the human rights of all are respected. Funded entirely by our supporters across the world, we mobilise active support for the Tibetan cause, champion human rights and challenge those who sustain the occupation.

Our research partner, Tibet Watch, works to promote the human rights of the Tibetan people through monitoring, research and advocacy. We work closely with them to securely obtain, verify and distribute information and news from inside Tibet.

We are now looking for a Fundraising Officer to join us on a permanent, full-time or part-time basis, working 28 - 35 hours per week.
