David Babbs helped found 38 Degrees in 2009. Since then the organisation has grown to over 800,000 members who work together both on the internet and in the real world. 38 Degrees has played a key role in some significant campaign victories including halting government plans to privatise England’s public forests, forcing a rethink of Andrew Lansley’s plans for the NHS and securing better protection for victims of Human Trafficking.

"The energy, verve and enthusiasm at The Battle of Ideas filled me with hope. Coming from India where so many people still lack the basic necessities that make human life worth living, it was heartening to see basic issues of equity and justice debated with such passion and fervour."
George Thomas, orthopaedic surgeon; editor, Indian Journal of Medical Ethics
