Who we are
At the Government Digital Service (GDS), our mission is to build a simple, joined-up and personalised experience of government for everyone.

Our focus is on delivering five missions in the following areas:
GOV.UK as the single and trusted online destination for government information and services
Joined-up services that solve whole problems and span multiple departments
A simple digital identity solution that works for everyone
Common tools and expert services
Joined-up data across departments
