Case study - Leonard Cheshire
Disability charity Leonard Cheshire wanted to enable visitors to their website to lobby their political representatives by email.
Visitors simply type in their postcode, and UpMyStreet’s mapping engine correctly identifies the constituency and MP for each user. An email can then be sent directly, raising local or national issues affecting the disabled. If the MP in question doesn’t use email, the appropriate postal address is given.
Case study - The Scottish Parliament
The Scottish Parliament wanted users of its website to be able to quickly identify their constituency and MSP. By making use of UpMyStreet’s mapping engine, they were able to provide this service without spending time or energy on building, buying or maintaining a new tool.
Visitors to www.scottish.parliament.uk simply type in their postcode and a page with all the relevant details and links appears. The ability to search by postcode in this way is a seamless extension of the site’s offering.
