The #GetInvolved programme enables under-represented communities to engage with mainstream politics. Patchwork Foundation will be running events for the local, mayoral and general elections in collaboration with the four main parties throughout the year. This will include canvassing, hustings, workshops and broader campaign opportunities across the country. #GetInvolved sessions are open to anyone, regardless of political knowledge or experience, but especially aim to connect with those who may not have engaged with politics before or who want to get involved but don’t know how.
