£15,325
Recipient Organization

Callum Curry is a young entrepreneur and member of the Global Shapers movement, whose vision is to invigorate public engagement in politics. He has developed SUSSD, a social platform and app linked to Facebook that allows people to have their say on real issues scheduled for debate or discussion in their local area. It also allows local decision makers to gauge public opinion in real-time to help inform their work. This grant will support Callum to develop an android version of the app and to test its organisation portal with two councils in Belfast and Lisburn.
