Over the last five years, I have seen Patchwork grow from strength to strength. It’s work with underrepresented communities, especially young people, is not only important to get young people involved in our democracy, but has also completely changed so many people’s lives.
The Patchwork Foundation is honoured to announce that the legendary political correspondent John Pienaar has joined as our new Patron and joined by our founding Patrons Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE, Martyn Lewis CBE and John O’Brien.
Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE said:
“I am delighted to welcome John Pienaar to the Patchwork Foundation. I am sure that John’s background and political knowledge will greatly enhance the Foundation and I look forward to working with him.”
John Pienaar said:
“The work carried out by the Patchwork Foundation – connecting young people from many communities where too many of our fellow citizens feel so disconnected from our politics – has never been more important. I’m proud to have been invited to join in and help out.”
