“Many people from underrepresented backgrounds feel as though we do not belong in political spaces. Patchwork tries to teach young people that you have just as much right as anyone else, and that source of discomfort can be transformed into a source of unique strength.”
Get involved and support us to help more young people. Due to the growing need to support young people with their engagement with civil society and democracy, we believe in using the experience and programmes Patchwork offers as a vehicle to produce amazing young leaders.
We want to strengthen democracy and wider society by improving the services on offer. Patchworks’ roots as a volunteer-led organisation have led to a strong group of supporters and helpers, which means that 100% of funds provided directly supports the development of young people, and helps remove barriers to access.
