UK Parliament Week 2025 was marked across the Witham constituency, with schools, youth groups, charities, and community organisations taking part in activities designed to help people learn more about Parliament and its work.
This year’s UK Parliament Week focused on helping young people better understand the democratic process them understand how decisions are made, how those decisions affect daily life, and how they can make their voices heard. The week also marked the 10th anniversary of the UK Government and Parliament e-petitions website, which has enabled millions of people to raise issues directly with Members of Parliament over the past decade.
Local organisations and schools joined thousands of participants across the UK. Last year more than 2.4 million people took part nationally, and this year saw strong engagement again, with groups receiving resource kits including activity booklets, a pop-up ballot box, stickers, banners, and the Petitions Pursuit board game to help them run their events.
Reflecting on the week, Priti said:
“It has been wonderful to see schools and community groups in Witham getting involved in UK Parliament Week. The enthusiasm shown by young people has been inspiring, and it is vital that they feel confident with our democratic system and making their voices heard. I am grateful to everyone across our constituency who took part and helped make this year’s activities such a success.”
