Joseph lamb was secretary of the Physiological Society from 1982-85. During this time he started 'Save British Science (SBS)' a grassroots movement to counter Mrs Thatchers neglect of the science base. Although based originally in St Andrews SBS then moved to University College London & later changed its name to Campaign for Science & Engineering (CaSE), now a powerful voice for the science base.

In 1995 Joseph Lamb ran the 'Gas Greed' campaign, which was the first attempt to stop the escalation of top salaries. It arose because when British Gas was privatised the executives running it, Cedric Brown & Geordani, paid themselves £0.5 million each instead of the £70k paid to the previous (public) executor. At the company's annual meeting later in the summer 7000 people turned up instead of the usual 500 so the meeting had to be re-located during the last week at a cost 0f £0.5 million. The meeting fired the board but the pension funds reversed this decision.
