UK Citizens Online Democracy (or UKCOD) is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1076346.
mySociety builds websites which give people simple, tangible benefits in the civic and community aspects of their lives.
UKCOD was also heavily involved in research work contributing to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, including the Have Your Say website.
[2] UKCOD fell dormant around 1999, and was revived in 2003 by a new generation of trustees and volunteers, many of whom had previously worked together on independent online democratic projects such as Stand.org.uk and FaxYourMP, the predecessor to WriteToThem.
In Autumn 2003, UKCOD started a new project called mySociety which aimed to build more sites in the tradition of FaxYourMP.
