Suffolk UK Youth Parliament
The UK Youth
Parliament gives young people in the UK a voice, which will be
heard and listened to by local and national government, as well as
providers of services and others who have an interest in the views
and needs of young people.
The UKYP is made up of over 500 MYPs (Members of the Youth
Parliament) and deputy MYPs.
Members of the Youth Parliament listen to and gather the views
of local young people and ensure these are heard locally and
nationally.
They also help to create a Youth Manifesto - this is a list of
young people’s hopes and concerns. They attend regular regional
meetings and the UK Youth Parliament annual national meeting.
UKYP represents all young people regardless of gender,
ethnicity, disability, faith or sexual orientation.
In Suffolk, we have elected 7 MYPs for a 2-year period. These
are:
- Amy Jean Middleton
- Harry Stewart
- Jack Chamberlain
- Lewis Barham
- Matthew Percy
- Sam Kenward
- Tim Jennings
