UK Parliament Week 2024 to be celebrated across Portsmouth

By 7 November 2024No Comments

Stephen Morgan is inviting everyone in Portsmouth South 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.

It’s a great way to find out new things about UK Parliament or be reminded of things you might’ve forgotten.

UKPW is taking place from 18-24 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 1.6 million people took part in every nation and region of the UK, and many countries all over the world.

Everyone who signs up for UK Parliament Week will receive a digital free kit with resources including a booklet (with information and activity ideas tailored for youth groups, primary and secondary schools, or adults), a ballot box, bunting, and a unique Give Way card 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 make Parliament happen.

Commenting Portsmouth South MP, Stephen Morgan said:

“As the MP for Portsmouth South, I’m encouraging people in my constituency to sign up for UK Parliament Week 2024.

“I’m looking forward to seeing Portsmouth groups and organisations join in and welcome this opportunity for communities to come together to find out about our national parliament.”

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 Portsmouth.”
