Great day at the office. Top class speaker, more young changemakers inspired to be the political change in our country in a pivotal year for getting involved ✨#getinvolved @UKPatchwork
What a fantastic bunch of young people - all from under represented backgrounds with a passion for politics on the @UKPatchwork programme
Have you got five minutes? Make sure you're registered to vote, and that you've got a postal vote organised if it's tricky to get there in person on polling day.

Such an honour to present gongs for good political eggs at @UKPatchwork awards this evening in Parliament. Congratulations to @LaylaMoran @KerryMP @drewhendrySNP @NadiaWhittomeMP @jogideon & @drlukeevans for all their brilliant work to engage young people in politics.

Had an inspiring time assisting @UKPatchwork at this year's graduation. Reminded me of my own graduation. The insights I got into how to make change from within set the stage for my public service journey. Kudos to the team for empowering a new generation of change-makers 👏🏾
In an age of performative allyship we need to ask: “Have I made myself useful today?” Thank you George C. Wolfe for your astounding @RustinMovie, and
@amlameen

First reshuffle since I left the Civil Service feels different - no “day one” briefings to prepare! Well done to those working behind the scenes to smooth transitions.
If you’re wondering how it all works, look no further than the @instituteforgov’s infographics and commentary.

Patchwork has three distinct groups of people who give their time and expertise for free to make the organisation's work a success (and hold me to account!). We are grateful for all that our Trustees, Advisory Council and Alumni Leadership Council bring to our work.
It's #TrusteesWeek2023! We want to celebrate the Trustees who support Patchwork's vision, including our Patchwork Alumni who sit on the board - such as Makedah 💫 We also want to recognise our Patchworkers who #GetInvolved by becoming young trustees themselves - like Conor! 🌟
Great to sit down with @TamFinkelstein to discuss the opportunities @UKPatchwork provides to disadvantaged young people. We discussed what it means to have a sense of belonging in the workplace, and skills for the future. Thank you for your support!
Thank you @MetroMayorSteve for your support of Patchwork and for taking the time to share your experiences with Patchworkers.
Our 'High Fliers' cohort sat down with Steve Rotheram, @metromayorsteve Metro Mayor of Liverpool City Region this week! Chaired by Patchworker Samantha, we discussed devolution, digital transformation, and the impact young people can have on influencing politics #GetInvolved
Congratulations to all involved in #StillWeRoar at @wembleystadium last night. Brilliant retelling of the stories of the first black women to play for England, with performances from fantastic actors and excellent writing, AND a Q&A with the women themselves afterwards - amazing.

On Tuesday, we hosted a Masterclass for the 2023 cohort of @UKPatchwork, which supports young people from minority backgrounds in becoming actively involved in British democracy. Our Executive Chairman @c_lewington shared his career story and insights into the PR industry.
Thank you @SadiqKhan for taking time out to share your thoughts with Patchworkers today! #LabourConference23 #getinvolved
It's so important that politics is open and accessible for young people from all backgrounds.
Great to spend time with the @UKPatchwork delegation here in Liverpool. #Lab23 #GetInvolved
