PledgeBank

PledgeBank gets things done that require a bunch of people to work together.

It builds peer pressure by letting people say, "I'll do something, but only if other people will too."

Responsible for tons of donated cash, volunteer election monitoring, and knitted hats, it lets users create pledges which say "I'll do something, but only if a group of other people will help."

Visit PledgeBank.

WriteToThem

WriteToThem.com is the only website in the UK you can use to contact any of your elected representatives. Enter a postcode and it'll tell you who all your local representatives are, and a bit about who you should contact for which reasons.

WriteToThem has now been used to send over 400,000 messages, around half of which come from citizens who tell us they've never written to a politician before. Simple engagement, done right.

GroupsNearYou

GroupsNearYou is a user-generated website where you can find what local online communities exist that cover your home or place of work.

GroupsNearYou doesn't care whether a group is on Facebook, or Google Groups, or even just CCed emails, all it cares is that there is a group that can be described and that people who live locally can join.
