About mySociety and SocietyWorks

Established in 2003, mySociety is a not for profit group pioneering the use of online technologies to empower citizens to take their first steps towards greater civic participation. Our permanent UK based staff work across four interlinked practice areas: Transparency , Democracy , Climate and Community — each underpinned by research , sector building through TICTeC and appropriate commercial work via SocietyWorks . What we do and why we do it Our vision is of a fair society, where people are informed, connected and empowered to shape the future of their communities and the world around them. We have a mission to create and run digital services that break down barriers to democratic participation, equipping people to take action and drive meaningful change. Finally, our values are woven through everything we do. mySociety is a trusted, collaborative and evidence-driven organisation with a long history of leading in civic tech. We use digital expertise and human-centred design approaches to deliver open, usable services that enable people to inform themselves, take part in decision making, and improve their lives and communities.
