“This is the first time I’ve ever heard about any of this. Before I didn’t know about the Greater London Authority, the boroughs or parish councils, or how they work. I think it’s really important that projects like these exist, where you go into schools and teach us how these systems work. It means that we can see how we can have an effect on society, not just by being heard, but also by making a tangible difference.” Year 13 student, Bridge Academy

“We need events like these and we need to make sure that we work with local organisations to disseminate this information more locally, especially in areas where we know there is a large number of Romanians living there.” Teo, Local Councillor

“ShoutOut UK offered a great chance to speak to our Year 13 students about ensuring they register to vote and how changes in Voter ID legislation would affect them. The assembly included a walk-through on how to register to vote as well as highlighting the acceptable forms of ID. It was an informative session which also reiterated the key message that the voices of young people do matter and that they should be heard and that they should definitely register to vote.” Tazkia, Teacher at Eastbury Community School
