Northern. Work hard for change. Did an ironman and do CrossFit so now we don’t need to talk about that.

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

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

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.

[Ayesha Hazarika @ayeshahazarika]

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.

[Cllr Usaama Kaweesa @UsaamaK]

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 👏🏾

That’s a wrap! Food for thought on how climate, skills and tech will all shape the economy, business and wider government policy in the year ahead - @UKPatchwork will explore all this and more in our 2024 programmes connecting disadvantaged young people and politics. #CBI23

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.

[Patchwork Foundation @UKPatchwork]

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! 🌟

[Claire Eadington @claireead]

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!

[Claire Eadington @claireead]

Thank you @MetroMayorSteve for your support of Patchwork and for taking the time to share your experiences with Patchworkers.

[Patchwork Foundation @UKPatchwork]

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

[Claire Eadington @claireead]

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.

[Hanover Comms @hanovertweets]

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.
