  • "The programme got me thinking about what young people can do to tackle issues like misinformation in the media. It definitely inspired and motivated me to hopefully bring about positive change in the world one day."

  • "I enjoyed the staff being so friendly and approachable. The teams helped create a more comfortable environment. The activities were engaging, I wasn't bored, and I learnt more skills and information this way instead of just listening for hours like in school. The whole experience was educational and enjoyable at the same time."

  • "I’d just like to express my gratitude for hosting a programme like this. It’s incredibly valuable in giving young people the opportunity to get involved or at least become more informed about local politics. Too often, our attention is solely focused on Westminster, which can feel quite distant from us as constituents. This programme helped bridge that gap and made politics feel more accessible and relevant to our everyday lives."
