International, national and local governments and agencies make decisions which fundamentally affect the lives of citizens. Organisational complexity and an increasing pace of change are making it increasingly difficult for individuals and community groups to even know about; far less engage in decision making processes.

This project was initiated to satisfy the growing need for an easy to use way of accessing and sharing information and ideas and responding to consultations. The rapidly expanding public access to the internet offers an opportunity to individuals and community groups to discuss issues together and lobby Authorities for policy changes.

The overarching aim of this website is to renew democracy by enabling people and communities throughout Scotland to have greater influence over factors affecting their lives.
