MP Natalie Elphicke is inviting constituents to celebrate democracy and get involved in UK Parliament Week.

The, annual event, which continues until Sunday, engages people with Parliament, explores the democratic process and encourages everyone to get involved.

They can register their own activity for the week on ukparliamentweek.org/en/sign-uk

This year the focus is how small actions can lead to big changes, encouraging participants to get informed, take action and make an impact on issues they care about.

Community groups, local organisations and schools in hundreds of different areas across the United Kingdom have already signed up to take part in the week.

Mrs Elphicke, MP for Dover and Deal, said: “Parliament Week is an opportunity to celebrate our democracy.

" Up and down the land MPs work incredibly hard for the communities and people they represent.

"We all have our part to play and I look forward to seeing how organisations and local groups in Dover and Deal join in, especially the next generation of voters in our schools.”
