We believe that active participation is far more powerful than remaining part of the silent majority. The #GetInvolved programme empowers underrepresented communities to engage confidently with mainstream politics and public life. You can register your interest with us today, or continue reading to learn more about the programme.
2024 was a landmark year for politics around the world, with more than 40% of the global population eligible to vote. In the UK, local elections, mayoral elections, and the General Election on Thursday 4 July created an important opportunity for young people to engage with politics and ensure their voices were heard.
Through the #GetInvolved programme, participants take part in canvassing sessions, hustings, party conferences, workshops, and political events across the country. Delivered in collaboration with the UK’s major political parties, the programme offers balanced opportunities to explore a broad range of political perspectives and experiences.
We understand that engaging with politics for the first time can feel intimidating. That is why we provide briefing sessions and practical workshops designed to build confidence and prepare participants before attending events. The programme is open to everyone, regardless of political knowledge or previous experience. All we ask is that participants come with an open mind and a willingness to #GetInvolved.
Participants gain hands-on experience in grassroots politics, from campaigning and canvassing to understanding how elections and political parties operate. They also hear directly from influential political figures and attend major political conferences to deepen their understanding of British politics and civic engagement.
Most importantly, the programme provides a welcoming and supportive environment where young people can explore their views, build confidence, and consider how they can play an active role in shaping the future of their communities and the country.
