Impact Report 2026
A look at how over a million people shaped policy and public services through Citizen Space in 2025, with data, trends and a look at what comes next.
In 2025, Citizen Space powered more than 10,300 published activities across the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, collecting over 1.1 million responses. This report tells the story behind those numbers: what people were consulted on, how engagement patterns shifted across the year, and what the data reveals about the state of public participation in civic life.
