Richard is inviting local community groups, schools and organisations in North East Bedfordshire to get involved in UK Parliament Week from 1-7 November and join a UK-wide conversation about our democracy, people power and making change happen.
UK Parliament Week is an annual festival that engages people from across the UK with their UK Parliament, explores what it means to them and empowers them to get involved.
Community groups, local organisations and schools representing every constituency across the United Kingdom have already signed up to be part of the conversation.
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.
Richard said: “I really welcome the involvement of people in North East Bedfordshire during UK Parliament Week 2020. I want 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. Time is running out to get your free kit, so sign up today!”
Last year, over 1.2 million people took part in UK Parliament week in every nation and region of the UK, alongside countries all over the world.
