100 years ago, workers won the weekend. Now it's time to win the four-day week.

In May 1926, the UK began moving from six days a week to five. A century on, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to win the next leap forward: a four-day working week for all.

We’ve just launched a new Crowdfunder - and the first few days will shape the campaign's reach: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-weekend-is-100-time-for-the-next-shift

We’re aiming to build as much early momentum as possible. Campaigns that start strong are far more likely to succeed. If you’re able to make a donation now, you’ll be helping to set this campaign up for success from day one.

Your support will help us to:

  • Convince more employers to adopt the four-day week, and support them to make it stick
  • Help thousands of workers organise and campaign for change in their own workplaces
  • Turn successful pilots into permanent, lasting policy change
  • Make the 100-year anniversary of the weekend a moment the country can't ignore

A century ago, the idea of a two-day weekend seemed radical. Now, it’s standard. The four-day week is the same fight - and we're closer than ever.

Please make an early donation today and help us build the momentum we need.
