Mark Cridge, Chief Executive
Welcome to our annual report. As always, it’s a chance to catch up with everything we’ve been doing in the last twelve months — and to take stock.
We’ve been thinking deeply about what part mySociety has to play in the wider picture of global and national events. It’s been a heck of a year, with the shattering of democratic norms; the increasing grip of deep fakes, misdirection and misinformation; the growing recognition of climate tipping points, and failed promises from those in power.
What gives us hope is that the tides have turned: the recognition that it is possible for ordinary people to hold power to account, to organise effectively for change, and to confront the challenges that lie ahead. Now, more than ever, it’s vital that every citizen feels empowered to act.
And whether you're delighted or dismayed by the UK General Election result, one thing’s for sure: mySociety will go on providing the resolutely non-partisan services that we’re known for, through 2020 and beyond. We’ll help you hold your representatives to account, demand transparency and make change in your own neighbourhood.
In short, we’ll be here to help you in every aspect of your life as an active citizen.
