The United Kingdom Youth Parliament (UKYP) is a national organisation that supports young people to use their energy and passion to make a difference. Run by young people, for young people, it provides a place and space for young people to use their ideas in creative ways, to get their voices heard and bring about change.
Next election in 2026
Each area in the UK is represented by a Member of Youth Parliament (MYP for short). As an MYP your biggest job is to hear the views of Bedford Borough’s young people and make sure they are heard, loud and proud!
The next elections for Youth Parliament will be in February 2026.
