Following the change to our home page mission description, we could use some additional context on how we work.

We could link to this on the about page or relocate it, at least temporarily

How we work
Democracy Club consists of a small core team of full-time software developers, data specialists, geospatial engineers and election experts. The team is supported by an online network of hundreds of volunteers who assist with compiling and maintaining our databases.

Much of our work focuses on collecting data from the UK's approximately 400 local authorities, either via communicating with them directly or taking information from their websites using our unique infrastructure of web 'scrapers'. Working with our amazing volunteers, we aggregate this data and publish it for use by anyone. We are committed to open data. We believe that making the data that we collect available to everyone is the best way of empowering the most people to vote.

We believe that we make our greatest impact when we work in partnership with other organisations. In the past we've collaborated with other civic organisations, charities, and media to reach millions more people with information and research.
