Objectives

mySociety has a mission to repower democracy through the provision of technology, research and data that is used by individuals, journalists, and civil society in more than 40 countries around the world.

Established in 2003, we are a not for profit group operating across the areas of Transparency, Community, Democracy and Climate.

Thanks to our longevity, reliability and concerted community-building, we're widely recognised as a pioneer in the use of online technologies to help citizens take their first steps towards greater civic participation, connecting people and organisations at scale.

Activities

In the UK, we run a number of popular civic services including FixMyStreet, WhatDoTheyKnow, WriteToThem, TheyWorkForYou, and CAPE, the Climate Action Plan Explorer. We also carry out sector-leading research.

Our codebases are open source and we make them available, for free, to other organisations around the world who want to run similar services. Through our regular conferences and online meetups, we offer a community and technical support to these activist and practitioner groups.
