Description

"We’re a new national campaign to encourage government to release its data to the public.

It’s not a new idea but we’re doing it in a new way.

We’re setting up a series of “challenges”, asking one group of public sector bodies at a time to release specific data sets. We’ll build grassroots support around these challenges, showing that there is a demand for this data and helping people to lobby those organisations directly to produce it."
