How Email Your MP works

What is Email Your MP?

Email Your MP is a tool that allows organisations to run “Email Your MP” campaigns directly from their website.

Supporters enter their postcode, identify their Member of Parliament, and send a campaign message directly to them.

It is designed for campaigns, charities, advocacy groups, trade associations and policy organisations that want to make it easy for supporters to contact MPs about an issue.

How does the tool work?

The process is simple:

1. The campaign embeds the Email Your MP tool on its website, or we can do this for you.
2. Supporters enter their postcode.
3. The tool identifies their MP automatically.
4. A campaign message template is generated.
5. Multiple templates can be used, for example by party, region or campaign target group.
6. Supporters can edit the message before sending.
7. The email is delivered directly to the MP.

Who uses Email Your MP?

Email Your MP is designed for organisations running public campaigns, including:

• advocacy campaigns
• charities and NGOs
• trade associations
• professional bodies
• policy organisations
• grassroots movements

Do emails come from the supporter or the campaign?

Emails are sent from the supporter.

This ensures that MPs receive correspondence directly from constituents rather than from a central campaign address. Messages from constituents are more likely to be read and logged by MPs’ offices.

Can supporters edit the message before sending?

Yes. Campaigns can provide a suggested message template, or multiple templates, but supporters can edit and personalise the message before sending it to their MP.

Personalised messages can help campaign emails feel more authentic and improve how they are received.

Can the tool be embedded on our website?

Yes. Email Your MP can be embedded directly on campaign websites using a simple form.

This allows supporters to take action without leaving the campaign website.

Do supporters need to know who their MP is?

No. Supporters simply enter their postcode and the tool automatically identifies their Member of Parliament.

Does the tool work for all UK constituencies?

Yes. Email Your MP identifies MPs using postcode lookup and works across UK parliamentary constituencies.

Is the tool GDPR compliant?

Yes. The tool can include consent options so campaigns can collect and store supporter information in line with GDPR requirements.

Campaign organisers can decide what information they collect and how it is used.

Can supporters share the campaign after emailing their MP?

Yes. Email Your MP can include social sharing options that allow supporters to share the campaign after sending their email.

This can help campaigns reach new audiences organically and increase participation.

Can campaigns track how many emails have been sent?

Yes. Email Your MP can provide reporting dashboards that allow organisations to monitor participation and engagement.

Campaign organisers can see how many supporters have used the tool and track overall campaign activity.

Can campaigns track responses from MPs?

Yes. Email Your MP can include MP response tracking features that allow campaigns to monitor when MPs reply to campaign emails.

This helps organisations understand how MPs are responding and can provide useful insight during advocacy campaigns.

How does Email Your MP compare to NationBuilder or Engaging Networks?

NationBuilder and Engaging Networks are large campaigning platforms that provide a wide range of features, including supporter databases, fundraising tools and email marketing systems.

Email Your MP is a simpler and more focused alternative for organisations that want to run Email Your MP campaigns without the complexity or cost of a full campaign management platform.
