The Democratic Society is working in Lewes district to connect people taking action for their community. We want to make local citizen networks stronger, and give citizens a bigger voice and better information. We don’t back any party or cause, other than better democracy.

The Council are listening – they’ve signed up to our Participation Principles. Now we need to find the people in the district who want to make their voices heard.

Our first project is the Zero Hero waste and recycling scheme. You can win money for your community by taking local action to promote recycling.

We’re not just about waste is important, though. Whatever your issue, wherever in the district you live, if you want to be an active citizen we want to hear from you. Enter your email below to stay in touch with our work as it develops.
