Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald, is inviting local residents and organisations to get involved in UK Parliament Week, which is taking place this week, 18-24 November.
UK Parliament Week (UKPW), is an annual event spreading the word about what Parliament is, what it does and how individuals, community groups, schools and organisations across the nation can get involved. Last year, over 1.6 million people took part in every nation and region of the UK, including in Sussex Weald, and over 15,000 schools and organisations have signed up so far this year.
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 help to keep our Parliament running.
Nusrat Ghani said: “UK Parliament Week is a great way to explore the role and work of Parliament and MPs and to learn about how to get involved and make a difference. Every year, it is fantastic to see many individuals, groups and organisations across Sussex Weald take part in UK Parliament Week and I look forward to seeing some of the activities they have planned for the week ahead.”

Nusrat is always pleased to visit our local schools, groups, and organisations for a Q&A session on the democratic processes in the UK, the role and responsibilities of Parliament and Government and her responsibilities and duties as Member of Parliament for Sussex Weald and also as Chairman of Ways and Means, Madam Deputy Speaker. Please do not hesitate to get in touch via email at [email protected] if this is something you would like to enquire about.
