What is the UK Youth Parliament?

The UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) is similar to the adult UK parliament, but it is ran by young people for young people and enables 11-18-year olds to use their energy and passion to change the world for the better and bring around social change.

UKYP aims to give a voice to young people which will be listened to by local, regional and national government, providers of services for young people and other agencies who have an interest in the views of young people. UK MYP is part of the British Youth Council which has an independent national identity and has a rolling programme of activities across the year, including an annual sitting, a sitting in the House of Commons.
