Value proposition

The UK’s public participation charity. Creating a vibrant democracy, with people at the heart of decision-making.

We’re the UK’s public participation charity. We work towards creating a more vibrant democracy, with people at the heart of decision-making.

We know that politics often does not work as it should, leaving people and politicians feeling divided, distrustful and powerless. We demonstrate how democracy can be different. We support people and decision-makers to work together to solve our biggest challenges.

Our mission is to develop, support and campaign for new ways of involving people in the decisions that affect their lives.

democracy, open government, public participation, deliberation, citizen engagement, participatory decision making, and governance
