TheyWorkForYou is run by mySociety, a small UK charity.
We're a very efficient operation and do a lot with a small team. At the moment TheyWorkForYou, which is used by millions of people each year, is run with less than the equivalent of one full-time person.
If we had a bit more money, we could achieve a lot more.
We want MPs to meet the standards and expectations of the people who elected them - you!
If you share that goal please donate today to enable greater transparency and accountability of the next government.
Learn more about our current work, and our new project WhoFundsThem - looking into MPs’ and APPGs’ financial interests.
