Dr James Davies MP is inviting people in the Vale of Clwyd to get involved in UK Parliament Week (UKPW), an annual event spreading the word about what Parliament is, what it does and how you can get involved.
UKPW is taking place from 6-12 November. Youth groups, community organisations and schools in constituencies across the United Kingdom have already signed up to join in this year. Last year over one million people took part in every part of the UK, and many countries all over the world.
Everyone who signs up for UK Parliament Week will be posted a free kit packed with resources, including a booklet (with information and activity ideas tailored for youth groups, primary and secondary schools, or adults), a ballot box, bunting, stickers and a unique ‘The Ayes Have It’ board game.
As well as exploring UK Parliament, and ways to get involved, this year’s UKPW throws a spotlight on the various roles and people who help to keep our Parliament running.
James, who last year celebrated the event in the Vale of Clwyd by speaking to and answering questions from pupils at Ysgol Penmorfa, Prestatyn, and Ysgol Emmanuel in Rhyl, and welcomed constituents to his office for a cuppa and cake said:
“As the MP for the Vale of Clwyd, I’m encouraging people in my constituency to sign up for UK Parliament Week 2023. Many groups and organisations got involved with this event last year and I’m hoping this year will be just as successful.
“It’s a great way to find out new things about UK Parliament or be reminded of things you might have forgotten!”
Fran Jeens, Head of Education and Engagement at UK Parliament, said:
“UK Parliament Week is a great opportunity for people of all ages to get informed about how they can engage with UK Parliament to make a difference.
“Every year it’s fantastic to see so many people actively take part in UK Parliament Week. We look forward to lots of UKPW activities taking place in the Vale of Clwyd.”
