31st January – Anthony Zacharzewski

Anthony Zacharzewski set up the Democratic Society, a Brighton-based non-profit organisation in 2006. It undertakes projects that connect citizens and government in new ways. Current projects include working with the UK’s National Health Service to create a new democratic governance structure, and creating networks of local civic activists in East Sussex. Anthony chairs the Cabinet Office’s Open Policy Making board. Before starting Demsoc Anthony worked in Government, as a civil servant in the British Treasury and Cabinet Office, and as director of strategy for Brighton & Hove City Council.

Join us at our January meeting, where Anthony will be talking about democracy, networks and participation.
