About the organisation
The Sortition Foundation is a not-for-profit company that exists to transform politics and upgrade democracy. We recruit people from all walks of life for citizens’ assemblies in the UK, Australia, Europe, and around the world, with clients including national governments, local governments, cultural, technology and other organisations. The surplus generated from this work funds our campaigning for the institutionalisation of these assemblies at local and regional/national level. We are structured as a workers co-operative and our core values are to be caring, courageous and curious. We have a small and growing team across the UK and Australia and a subsidiary organisation, Sortition Europe, based in Hungary.
Our Vision is that people from all walks of life make informed decisions about how we live together. Our Purpose is to build the movement for permanent, powerful citizens’ assemblies. Our strategic goals are to:
-
Build a powerful movement for democratic renewal using citizens’ assemblies;
-
Build the capacity and expertise to deliver citizens’ assemblies at scale;
-
Build the belief that citizens' assemblies are feasible and desirable; and
-
Build and maintain a sustainable organisation.
Our goals are guided by the following values: Collective Wisdom and Social Justice. Our culture is guided by the following values: Curious, Caring, and Courageous.
In the last few years, citizens’ assemblies have become commonplace in many countries (UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Poland) and spread to many more, such as France, Spain, Austria, Germany, Belgium, among others. A regional parliament in Belgium created a permanent citizens’ assembly - the first of its kind in Europe - and we are seeing local councils in the UK and Australia follow suit.
While this represents considerable success, there is still much work and campaigning to do. We want to see citizens’ assemblies become more prevalent, for them to become a permanent feature of our democracies, and we understand that for this to happen we need more people, organisations and decision makers to know about and advocate for these assemblies.
In recent years the Sortition Foundation:
-
Supported nearly 200 citizens’ assemblies and other sortition events in the UK, Australia, Hungary, and elsewhere, sending hundreds of thousands of assembly invitations to households, and recruiting thousands of people for deliberative processes. Some examples include Scotland’s Climate Assembly, the Budapest Climate Assembly, a citizens’ jury on assisted dying in Jersey, the UK government’s Public Advisory Group on COVID-19, and many community panels in Australia for councils in Victoria.
-
Developed a network of democracy organisations campaigning for the institutionalisation of citizens’ assemblies; we have an ongoing campaign to replace the House of Lords with a House of Citizens, have developed and tested messaging and framing guides for communicating our campaign goals, and have laid the groundwork for this transformative democratic change.
-
Reviewed and refreshed our strategy and structure to get clear on what we can hope to achieve with the resources we can wield in the best possible organisational structure.
-
Grew our annual turnover dramatically, from almost zero turnover six years ago, to over £624,000 in the last financial year.
We achieved all this thanks to our growing and dedicated staff; our continued partnerships with organisations including the Electoral Reform Society, Unlock Democracy, and Involve in the UK, and DemocracyCo in Australia; our ongoing participation in the Democracy R&D International Network.
