Dear friend,

Our work has taken us far and wide in recent weeks.
Alex in a suit

To Scottish Parliament… where Alex was invited to speak on a committee!

Scotland has its own Freedom of Information system, and they’re planning changes they hope will both modernise and strengthen it — we were invited to give our thoughts on these.

If you’d like to know more (or even watch Alex in action), see our blog post.

To Welsh Parliament, aka the Senedd… where, yesterday, Julia spoke about the opportunities and challenges of the new electoral system coming to Wales in May next year.

She also explained how our services like TheyWorkForYou, which covers the Senedd in English and Welsh; and WriteToThem (soon to be in Welsh), can help citizens stay connected to their representatives.

Meanwhile, today Alex is speaking at the London Assembly about holding mayors to account (timely, as six UK areas are getting mayors for the first time); last week he was on a panel about procuring AI; and on Tuesday Zarino was speaking about government contracting. Whew!

It's nice to get about and meet people across the UK, and it's all important work as well. We're speaking to the institutions that decide so much about how society runs. That allows us to advocate for better laws and systems that benefit everyone.

And if these events all sound a bit geeky, or dry? Yeah, we get it — the intricacies of democracy and Parliament aren't for everyone. But they are for us!

We are pushing for things to be better, to the people and institutions that can make it happen. That's what our work is all about.

Which makes us wonder...

How much do you like to know about our work?

🤓 I love to know all the little details of what you’re up to
😊 I'm happy just knowing someone's taking care of it
All the best,
Myf and the team at mySociety
