The Children’s Party is bringing young people together to get your voices heard about the things that matter to you.

This year, a general election will take place in the UK, and the First News Children’s Party is making sure young voices are heard by the people who will run the next government. Young people are 30% of the world’s population, but 100% of the future, so it’s really important you get your say about the issues you care about.
