TheyWorkForYou is run by a small team but has a big impact - can you help us go further?

For over 20 years, TheyWorkForYou has been making our democracy more transparent and our politicians more accountable.

We need your support to:

Hold Power to Account — We highlight what our representatives are doing so they know the public is watching.
Keep It Free and Accessible — No paywalls because everyone deserves unbiased information about decisions made on their behalf.
Innovate and Go Further — How politics works is always changing and we're always looking for new opportunites to improve things.

We don't want to wait for a better political system to be given to us – we want to work together to make it happen now.
