MP encourages residents to mark UK Parliament Week 2020

The MP for Lewes is inviting everyone in the constituency to get involved in UK Parliament Week.

MP Maria Caulfield, whose constituency covers Polegate, says getting involved with the week means joining a UK-wide conversation about our democracy, people power and making change happen.

UK Parliament Week is an annual festival taking place from November 1-7.

It encourages people from across the UK to engage with their UK parliament, explore what it means to them, and empowers people to get involved.

This year marks 10 years of UK Parliament Week. It is a great opportunity to be part of a thriving democracy and look ahead to the next 10 years, thinking about what issues are important to you and how you can work with UK parliament to bring about change.

Community groups, local organisations and schools representing every constituency across the UK have already signed up to be part of the conversation.

Mrs Caulfield said, “As MP for the Lewes constituency, I welcome the involvement of people in the constituency during UK Parliament Week 2020.

“I am determined to ensure that our voters and citizens of tomorrow understand how vital their participation is in our democracy, and I’m excited to see so many organisations and local groups taking part.”

Last year, more than 1.2 million people took part in UK Parliament Week in every nation and region of the UK, as well as countries all over the world.

Those who sign up for UK Parliament Week will be sent a free kit packed with resources - including a booklet, bunting, a ballot box, a poster, stickers and more, which can be tailored for different organisations.
