** It's about more than numbers...
------------------------------------------------------------


** (but the numbers are good)
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friend,

As you follow the work we do here at mySociety, we hope you’ll be pleased to see that, in 2026:
* we empowered millions of people to transform communities
* we equipped thousands of activists to make real change
* we helped ensure authorities operate with accountability

... and that’s not all.

** We’ve been crunching the numbers, and this year we’ve:
------------------------------------------------------------
* enabled 82,204 people to engage with political issues
* released 154,496 previously hidden government documents
* equipped 3,000+ organisations across the globe
* facilitated 577,258 neighbourhood issues to be reported and fixed
* empowered the public to follow the money behind politics
* resourced 76% of UK councils to tackle the climate emergency
* prototyped the UK’s first Violence Against Women Data Hub
* supported 80,015 people to contact their representatives. 43% were writing to a politician for the first time — and 10,800 messages were from people living in the most deprived areas of the UK

And overall, there have been 39 million sessions across our websites — 39 million moments of civic action.


** But, like we say...
------------------------------------------------------------

...those are just numbers, and they don't tell you everything.
That's why the report is full of real life stories, photos, and lots more detail on all our activities this year. To see the stories behind the numbers:

Thank you for your interest in creating a fairer society — we’ve still got a way to go.

Louise Crow,

Chief Executive
